NASCAR: 2024 New Hampshire qualifying updates, full starting lineup
By Asher Fair
New Hampshire Motor Speedway, which has been on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule since 1993, is set to host its annual Cup Series race this Sunday afternoon.
The USA Today 301 is scheduled to be a 301-lap race around the four-turn, 1.058-mile (1.703-kilometer) Loudon, New Hampshire oval. Joe Gibbs Racing's Martin Truex Jr. is the reigning race winner.
Because the track is more than one mile in length, the traditional single-lap qualifying format is set to be used, with drivers split up into two groups. The groups, and specifically the qualifying order of each group, were determined by a metric that NASCAR implemented in 2020. A full breakdown of that formula can be found here.
The top five drivers in each group advance to the second round shootout for the pole position. Each is set to make an additional single-lap qualifying attempt.
UPDATE: Qualifying has been canceled due to rain. The starting lineup has been set by the metric.
