Is there a NASCAR race today? How to watch Cup, Xfinity Series events at New Hampshire Motor Speedway

This week, NASCAR goes just a little further. One-eighth of a mile further, to be exact.

Coming off an action-packed, inaugural race at the seven-eights mile Iowa Speedway last week, the Cup and Xfinity Series, as well as the Whelen Modified Tour, are bound for the Magic Mile at New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend.

Last week, Ryan Blaney notched his first win of the year and claimed a playoff spot and there are contenders to do the same at New Hampshire, most notably, Martin Truex Jr., who has led 350 more laps than any other driver in the past three events here (426 to Kevin Harvick’s 76). Currently, Christopher Bell tops the odds board according to Hard Rock bet at +450.

It all starts Friday with races in the Xfinity Series and Whelen Modified Tour set for Saturday. Finally, the weekend concludes with the Cup Series USA Today 301 on Sunday.

Here’s a schedule and how to watch NASCAR this weekend.
