The handling of the race car is very important at this oval. The bull ring at Loudon, N.H., is a true oval with variable banking of two to seven degrees in all turns, and one degree on both straightaways. NASCAR's top division heads to the one-mile, flat oval of New Hampshire Motor Speedway for the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 on Sunday afternoon. We make a return this week to the short-track circuit after a long stretch of intermediate ovals.
