NASCAR Cup Round 18: New Hampshire Motor Speedway - Lennox Industrial Tools 301
The Magic Mile - not my favorite but has produced some decent racing in the past, and the length of the race will make it worth the watch.

Any particular reason - sponsor related? - the race is 301 laps long? I checked Jayski but couldn't find any info.

Organizers added an extra lap starting in 2008 to represent that Lenox Industrial Tools "is looking for users and suppliers of industrial tools that go the extra mile, whose jobs are physically demanding, day after day, and still find time to contribute to their communities in a meaningful way."

That is the best PR explanation I've ever heard.

On a side note, Viasat that shows NASCAR here in Sweden just lost the TNT feed - apparently bad weather in the US is disturbing the uplink. Anyone else outside the US experiencing the same thing?

Another boring race so far with hardly any passing after the first 10 laps after a restart, lets hope the 2013 car produces better racing.

Yep, that's what I have come to expect from the "magic mile"...other than location, it's beyond me why they have two races there.

They'll win some races this year.

I found the race rather boring. Congrats to Kasey on the win, good to see him turn his season around.
Ambrose 19th, just couldn't get the car right?

I guess... 
I don't watch NASCAR much, but when I do, I am always hoping the Busch Sisters won't win.
