New Hampshire Motor Speedway has not hosted a NASCAR Cup Series playoff race since 2017, but that has changed in 2025. The Mobil 1 301 had been contested annually in July (June in 2024), but it is now the opening race of the second round of the postseason.
There are 12 drivers still eligible to win this year's Cup Series championship heading into Sunday afternoon's 301-lap race around the four-turn, 1.058-mile (1.703-kilometer) "Magic Mile" oval in Loudon, New Hampshire, as four of the 16 playoff drivers were eliminated in the round of 16 finale at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Team Penske's Joey Logano took the pole position for the round of 12 opener in Saturday's qualifying session, and teammate Ryan Blaney started beside him on the front row on Sunday. A full starting lineup can be found here.
