LOUDON, N.H. — USA Sports’ NASCAR coverage rolls into New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend with more than just a race on the schedule.

Sunday’s Dollar Tree 301 marks the third NASCAR Cup Series event broadcast by USA Sports in 2026 and serves as another key stop on the road to the postseason. Coverage begins with Countdown to Green at 2:30 p.m. ET, followed by live race coverage at 3 p.m. ET on USA Network. The event is part of USA Sports’ expanded NASCAR package, which includes 14 Cup Series races and the entire Chase playoff schedule.

The broadcast team brings a wealth of NASCAR experience.

Veteran play-by-play announcer Leigh Diffey will call the action alongside NASCAR Hall of Fame electee Jeff Burton and former championship-winning crew chief Steve Letarte. Burton’s connection to New Hampshire runs particularly deep, as the Virginia native won four Cup Series races at the “Magic Mile” between 1997 and 2000.

Race coverage will also feature veteran reporters Kim Coon and Dave Burns on pit road, while former Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne serves as pace-car analyst and contributor throughout the broadcast.

Beyond the race itself, USA Sports will use the weekend to showcase NASCAR’s broader story.

Following post-race coverage, the network will air Enduring Spirit, the final installment of its three-part NASCAR AMERICANA documentary series. The episode examines NASCAR’s evolution from a regional Southern pastime into a national motorsports powerhouse while highlighting the traditions and culture that continue to define the sport.

The documentary focuses on modern NASCAR through the experiences of 2026 Daytona 500 winner Tyler Reddick and three-time Cup Series race winner Bubba Wallace during the Anduril 250, the first NASCAR event contested on a U.S. Naval base.
