NASCAR NEXTEL CUP
LENOX Industrial Tools 300
Site: Loudon, N.H. Schedule: Friday, qualifying (Speed Channel, 3 p.m.); Sunday, race (TNT, 1 p.m.). Track: New Hampshire International Speedway (oval, 1.058 miles, 12 degrees banking in turns). Race distance: 317 miles, 300 laps. Last race: Juan Pablo Montoya showed off his road racing prowess again, stretching his fuel to the limit and grabbing his first Nextel Cup win. Montoya, who qualified a disappointing 32nd in the 43-car field, was the first driver to win on the Northern California road circuit starting farther back than 13th. Last year: Kyle Busch had to go to overtime at New Hampshire International Speedway for his first victory of the year. Busch passed Elliott Sadler for the lead 61 laps from the end and appeared to have the win all wrapped up before a crash involving Hendrick Motorsports teammate Brian Vickers and rookie Clint Bowyer brought out a caution flag on lap 298, just three laps from the scheduled end. The race was extended even longer after another accident. At the last restart on lap 307, both rookie Denny Hamlin and Carl Edwards moved past Sadler, but Busch easily pulled away from the challengers. Fast facts: Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson were docked 100 points each Tuesday, and their crew chiefs were both fined $100,000 and suspended for six races for violations at Infineon. Gordon remains the points leader after the deduction, but his margin was cut to 171 points over Hamlin. Johnson dropped from third to fifth. … This is the eighth Car of Tomorrow race. … Seven of the top-12 drivers in the current standings have won at New Hampshire. … Montoya is the third foreign-born driver to win a race in NASCAR’s top series. The Colombian driver joined Italian-born Mario Andretti, who won the 1967 Daytona 500, and Earl Ross of Canada, who won on the short oval at Martinsville in 1974. Montoya’s only other NASCAR victory came earlier this year in a Busch Series race. Next race: Pepsi 400, July 7, Daytona Beach, Fla.
NASCAR BUSCH
Camping World 200
Site: Loudon, N.H. Schedule: Saturday, qualifying (Speed Channel, 7 a.m.), race (ABC, 11:30 a.m.). Track: New Hampshire International Speedway (oval, 1.058 miles, 12 degrees banking in turns). Race distance: 211.6 miles, 200 laps. Last race: After missing the start of the race because his helicopter couldn’t find a place to land, Denny Hamlin rallied to take the checkered flag in a wacky AT&T 250 at the Milwaukee Mile. But because substitute driver Aric Almirola started the race in Hamlin’s car, NASCAR officially will credit Almirola with the victory, points and prize money. Last year: Carl Edwards easily held off a late challenge from Kevin Harvick to win at New Hampshire International Speedway. Fast facts: There have been 20 different winners in as many Busch races at New Hampshire. There have also been 17 different polesitters. … According to NASCAR officials, Almirola’s victory last week marked the first time a relief driver had won a race a Busch race since Jack Ingram turned his car over to Harry Gant at Darlington Raceway on April 13, 1985. … Edwards recovered from the flat tire to finish eighth at Milwaukee and left with a dominant 776-point lead over David Reutimann the standings. He has finished second and first, respectively, over the last two years at New Hampshire. Next race: Winn-Dixie 250, July 6, Daytona Beach, Fla.

Site: Memphis, Tenn. Schedule: Saturday, qualifying (Speed Channel, 3 p.m.), race (Speed Channel, 5:30 p.m.). Track: Memphis Motorsports Park, (tri-oval, 0.75 miles, 11-degrees banking in turns). Race distance: 150 miles, 200 laps. Last race: Johnny Benson took the lead just past halfway at The Milwaukee Mile, then held off Ron Hornaday Jr. on a late restart to win his second straight race. Last year: Jack Sprague raced to his first victory of 2006, holding off rookie Eric Darnell by 0.251 seconds in the O’Reilly 200. Sprague also gained a share of the series career record for poles with his 28th, equaling the mark held by Mike Skinner. Fast facts: There have been eight different winners in 11 races this season. Series leader Skinner and Hornaday are the only multiple winners. … Skinner has finished outside the top five only twice this season. Skinner, who turns 50 on Thursday, has also won seven poles in 2007, three shy of his own single-season record set in 1995. … Sprague, the track’s only two-time winner, has finished 26th or worse in four of his last six starts. … The late Bobby Hamilton will be honored during a pre-race ceremony Saturday. Next race: Built Ford Tough 225, July 14, Lexington, Ky.

Race distance: Timed, 1-hour, 45-minutes. Last race: Paul Tracy pushed his way to the front and held off rookie Robert Doornbos on the final lap to win his third Grand Prix of Cleveland, ending Sebastien Bourdais’ three-race winning streak. Tracy was involved in two accidents early in the race, but the gutsy Canadian worked his way through the field and took the checkered flag, finishing 0.513 seconds ahead of Doornbos and another rookie, Neel Jani, who was 5.405 seconds back in third. Last year: No race. This is inaugural event. Fast facts: This will be the first open-wheel race at Mont Tremblat since 1968. … Last week’s victory ended a 23-race winless streak for Tracy, whose previous victory came at Cleveland in 2005. … Despite finishing 12th at Cleveland, Bourdais still leads the championship standings with 117 points, three more than Doornbos and 12 ahead of Will Power.

Site: Richmond, Va. Schedule: Friday, qualifying, 4:30 p.m.; Saturday, race (ESPN, 4:30 p.m.). Track: Richmond International Raceway (D-shaped oval, 0.75 miles, 14 degrees banking in turns). Race distance: 187.5 miles, 250 laps. Last race: Points leader Dario Franchitti survived a slippery short oval and a furious late charge from teammate Marco Andretti to win the inaugural Iowa Corn Indy 250. Franchitti, whose other victory in 2007 came at the Indy 500, won by 0.0681 seconds. The win helped Franchitti open up a 51-point lead over Tony Kanaan in the points race. Last year: Sam Hornish Jr. blew by teammate Helio Castroneves early in the race to win the SunTrust Indy Challenge Fast facts: Franchitti has had podium finishes in five of the last six races, including two victories. … Hornish has won this race twice. … An accident knocked Danica Patrick out of last week’s race.
