NASCAR New Hampshire weather forecast, update for Cup Series race Sunday

The NASCAR Cup Series Dollar Tree 301 race may be impacted by weather at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

On Sunday, August 23, the Dollar Tree 301 NASCAR Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway may be affected by rain. As per the National Weather Service, the likelihood of precipitation at the green flag time increases from 27% to 57% throughout the day. Thunderstorms are also expected. The race track, located north of Loudon, roughly 15 miles north of Concord, New Hampshire, does not have lights around it, which means the race could be limited if rain persists for an extended period.

NASCAR has already moved up the green-flag time by an hour, to 2:20 p.m. Eastern/1:20 p.m. Central. The track uses wet-weather tires, but they won't be utilized if the track is completely washed out. The race will be televised on the USA Network.
