The NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series are scheduled to race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon this weekend.
Last year's Cup race at New Hampshire saw Aric Almirola score an upset victory in oncoming darkness to earn a playoff berth (see highlights of the race above).
As the series returns to the "Magic Mile," Almirola is on the outside looking in. He is 18th in the Cup playoff standings, 42 points behind the 16th and final playoff spot.
Christopher Bell holds that final spot by 19 points over 17th-place Kevin Harvick, Almirola's teammate at Stewart-Haas Racing.
The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series is off this weekend. That schedule will resume July 23 at Pocono Raceway.
