NASCAR in NH: Watch info, schedule, starting lineup, weather for Crayon 301 on Monday

The NASCAR Cup Series is rolling into New England.

Over the last three weeks on NBC, NASCAR has raced at three unique cities on three vastly different tracks. It started at Nashville Superspeedway on the 1.33-mile concrete oval, followed by the 2.2-mile Chicago Street Course and then the high-banked, 1.5-mile Atlanta Motor Speedway.

The challenges will only continue at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, a one-mile oval shaped like a paperclip. Known as the “Magic Mile,” NHMS has produced a number of memorable races since it was added to the schedule 30 years ago.

Here’s everything you need to know for the Crayon 301, which was postponed to Monday due to rain:
