NASCAR at New Hampshire 2015: Start time, lineup, TV schedule and more
LOUDON, N.H. — It's NASCAR race day at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, and we've got some essential information you need to get ready for today’s Chase for the Sprint Cup race.
START TIME: Drivers will be instructed to start their engines at 2:04 p.m. Eastern time Sunday, followed by the green flag at 2:12 p.m. So if you want to skip the pre-race show and just tune in for the race, turn on your TV at 2:12 p.m.
RACE DISTANCE: The Sylvania 300 is 300 laps around the 1.058-mile New Hampshire Motor Speedway for a total of 317.4 miles. So the "300" actually refers to the number of laps, not miles.
TV/RADIO SCHEDULE: NBC Sports Network (NBCSN) will broadcast today's race. The Performance Racing Network (PRN) will call the race on the radio and simulcast on Sirius/XM satellite radio.
LIVE STREAMING: The race will be live-streamed for subscribers on the NBC Sports app and the NBC Sports website.
WEATHER: The National Weather Service is calling for a beautiful fall day in New England with sunny skies and a high of 71 degrees.
LAST TIME: In July, Kyle Busch got a timely caution to help him get to the front and ended up with his second of three consecutive wins that month. And one year ago, Joey Logano pulled away on a green-white-checkered finish to win and advance to the second round of the Chase.
STARTING LINEUP: Carl Edwards won his third pole of the season and swept the pole positions at NHMS this year. He'll start alongside Kevin Harvick, who is looking for a win after a 42nd-place finish to start the Chase.
