The NASCAR Cup Series rolls into Loudon, New Hampshire, this Sunday for its yearly stop at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where the Mobil 1 301 is set to take center stage.

After the dust settled at Bristol's Bass Pro Shops Night Race, the championship field got slimmer, with Alex Bowman, Shane van Gisbergen, Austin Dillon, and Josh Berry all bowing out of the title hunt.

So far, the Playoffs have been painted Joe Gibbs Racing red, with the team sweeping every race to date. Christopher Bell has turned Loudon into something of his own playground, taking two of the last three Cup races at the track, while Denny Hamlin, already a three-time winner here, will be itching to add yet another Loudon trophy to his collection.

Here is everything you need to know about the New Hampshire playoff Race, including the start time for the race.
