NASCAR: Full qualifying order revealed for New Hampshire race
This Sunday is set to mark the halfway point of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season, with the series set for its annual visit to New Hampshire Motor Speedway for race number 18 on the 36-race schedule.
Sunday’s 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. Last year’s event was contested in July, and Truex hasn’t won since.
New Hampshire Motor Speedway has been on the Cup Series schedule since 1993. While it hosted two races each year from 1997 to 2017, it has hosted just one race per year since 2018.
The qualifying groups and qualifying order for Saturday’s qualifying session were determined using a four-variable metric that NASCAR implemented in 2020. A full breakdown of that formula can be found here.
Because New Hampshire Motor Speedway is not considered a short track, each driver is set to make a single-lap qualifying attempt, with the fastest five drivers in each of the two groups slated to advance to the second round shootout for the pole position. Round two is also set to feature single-lap qualifying attempts.
The drivers who don’t advance to the second round from the first group are set to start the race on the outside row, while the drivers who don’t advance to the second round from the second group are set to start the race on the inside row, marking a slight change from the series’ most recent visit to Loudon last season.

Massachusetts couple indicted for illegally voting in New Hampshire
A Massachusetts couple is facing charges after investigators say they illegally voted in a trio of elections in New Hampshire in recent years.
A Merrimack County grand jury returned six indictments this week charging both Joshua Urovitch, 56, and Lisa Urovitch, 54, with three felony counts of wrongful voting, according to New Hampshire Attorney General John M. Formella.
Formella said the indictments allege that the Urovitches voted multiple times in Concord, New Hampshire, despite living in Ashland, Massachusetts.
The Urovitches are accused of illegally voting in general elections in November 2020 and November 2022, as well as a Concord School District Election in November 2022.
An arraignment date for the Urovitches is set for Oct. 7 in Merrimack County Superior Court.
There were no additional details available.
