The state worked closely with the folks at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and the New Hampshire Division of Public Health to put forward comprehensive, operational guidance. New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu said in an interview with Jayski, 'Holding New England's premier NASCAR race this summer here in New Hampshire has always been a priority. This will be the 20th race of the 2020 NASCAR Cup series. The annual race is contested over 301 laps on the 1,058-mile-long speedway.
The race was originally scheduled to happen on July 19 but it got postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The date was announced after the New Hampshire government approved an action plan to allow fans to attend NASCAR Cup Series event.
The annual race of Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 is set to be held on August 2, 2020.
