Martin Truex Jr continues his 2023 success with a New Hampshire Motor Speedway victory in the Crayon 301 on Monday afternoon.

The NASCAR Cup Series stays on course through the hot summer with a trip up north to New Hampshire Motor Speedway. This track has been dubbed the “Magic Mile” as it has a history of putting on instant classics. It is a flat, one-mile speedway that is typically slick in the middle of the summer.

On Sunday evening, Kyle Busch fends off tough competition for a victory at WWT Raceway in the NASCAR Cup Series Enjoy Illinois 300.

After a short week of preparation, the NASCAR Cup Series returned to the Midwest for its second annual event at Worldwide Technology Raceway. It is a 1.25-mile speedway that features relatively flat corners. One side of the track has a tighter turn radius than the other which makes it a difficult track to set up for.
