This weekend we head to New Hampshire Motor Speedway for the Dollar Tree 301. The race is Sunday at 2:00pm ET on USA. The race was moved up an hour to hopefully beat the weather. New Hampshire is a 1.058-mile oval, and it’s considered a flat-track. It comps to Phoenix, Iowa, and Gateway. I don’t use Richmond as much because of the high tire-wear. I’ll be looking at recent New Hampshire data, recent flat track data, 2026 speed, and a few other things when building lineups this weekend. There is a new tire for New Hampshire this weekend, but teams ran it at multiple short-flat tracks this season. With the lack of tire fall off, we saw a track position race last season. Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, and Josh Berry were all optimal from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd starting positions. There was a little more fall off in practice this year, but overall, it’s still not as much as we would want to see.
