NASCAR returns this weekend to the 1.058-mile New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Both the NASCAR Cup and Xfinity Series will race there.
Matt Kenseth is the defending winner of the Cup race, while Kevin Harvick won last fall’s playoff race there.
Kyle Busch won last year’s Xfinity race at New Hampshire.
This will be the 45th Cup race and 31st Xfinity race to be held at the track in bucolic Loudon, New Hampshire.
