Overview

  • Tyler Reddick secured the pole in Saturday qualifying and will lead the field from the front row with Josh Berry on the outside.
  • NASCAR moved the start earlier on Sunday, Aug. 23, to avoid forecast showers, producing reporting conflicts over the exact green-flag time.
  • The Dollar Tree 301 runs 301 laps around New Hampshire’s flat 1.058-mile Magic Mile, a layout that rewards mechanical grip, braking and pit strategy.
  • Broadcast coverage is on USA Network with in-car feeds on HBO Max and additional streaming options reported on DIRECTV, and PRN will carry the radio broadcast.
  • Playoff pressure is high because this is the penultimate regular-season race: Shane van Gisbergen holds 16th place about 50 points ahead of Ryan Preece as drivers prepare for the final regular-season race at Daytona.
