The USA Today 301 NASCAR Cup Series race in New Hampshire is facing challenges due to rain, impacting not only the qualifying race but also forcing a change in the start time on Sunday from 2:30 p.m. ET to 2:06 p.m. ET. The New Hampshire Motor Speedway race has undergone several name changes over the years and in 2024, USA Today is the title sponsor.
Chase Elliott will lead the field from the pole position in the USA Today 301, with Ryan Blaney joining him on the front row. Qualifying was canceled due to rain, setting the lineup based on NASCAR’s rules for rainouts. Elliott, the regular-season points leader and third-place finisher at Iowa Speedway, has never raced from the pole at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, with his best finish of second coming in 2022.
Elliott expressed disappointment in not earning the pole but acknowledged the advantage of a good starting spot and pit position. Other notable drivers in the starting lineup include William Byron, Christopher Bell, and Alex Bowman. The race promises an exciting showdown among top drivers as they navigate the challenges of the track.
