The NASCAR Cup Series hits New Hampshire Motor Speedway today (Saturday, September 20) for qualifying, and we've got all of the details you need.
Today's qualifying session at 'The Magic Mile' will determine the starting lineup for Sunday's Mobil 1 301, which kicks off the playoffs Round of 12 after four drivers were eliminated from the postseason at Bristol Motor Speedway last Sunday.
In last season's race at New Hampshire, it was Hendrick Motorsports' Chase Elliott who took pole position, just edging Team Penske's Ryan Blaney and teammate William Byron on that occasion.
Christopher Bell had the last laugh by winning the race, however, and the Joe Gibbs Racing star enters this weekend on a high after his win at Bristol last time out.
We certainly cannot wait to see how the action unfolds this evening and who comes out on top heading into Sunday's race.
