NASCAR moves up start time of Cup race

Kurt Busch

Potential rain Sunday afternoon at New Hampshire Motor Speedway has resulted in NASCAR and track officials moving the start time of the Cup Series race up one hour.

The Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 will now see the green flag at 1 p.m. ET (NBCSN, NBC Sports App, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). It had initially been scheduled for after 2 p.m. ET.

Kurt Busch will start from the pole with Martin Truex Jr. lined up alongside him. Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin will make up row two.
