What to Watch For: Only the 36 chartered teams are entered this weekend, with the most notable entries being Cole Custer and Ryan Newman for Rick Ware Racing. The Playoff bubble in the Cup Series is tight after Atlanta with Daniel Suarez (+3), Michael McDowell (+3), Bubba Wallace (-3), A.J. Allmendinger (-13), Ty Gibbs (-26), and Austin Cindric (-38) all within 40 points of the cutline. Christopher Bell is the defending winner of this race after leading the final 42 laps last season.
New Hampshire Motor Speedway marks the 20th race of the Cup Series season, and it is the only visit to Loudon that NASCAR will make this year. Playoff implications are aplenty in both series.
