In reaction to the threat of inclement weather, NASCAR has announced plans to move up the start time for the Dollar Tree 301 on Sunday. The Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway will start an hour earlier than originally scheduled, now planned for 2pm EST.
Goodyear does have wet-weather tires, which were used at NHMS in 2024. There has been no change to the schedule for Saturday. The track has since released an updated schedule for race day.
