NASCAR O'Reilly Series

While most drivers are preparing for one or two races this weekend, Ryan Preece is taking it a step further as he is set to run four races total in the span of three days. Preece will start off the weekend by running Friday's Whelen Modified All-Star Shootout at New Hampshire before heading back to Connecticut to run Friday night's Whelen All-American Series SK Modified race at Stafford Motor Speedway. Then on Saturday, he'll return to New Hampshire to return the Whelen Modified Tour Sunoco 100 and the NASCAR Nationwide Series Sta-Green 200.

This weekend's 200-lap event will mark Eric McClure's 241st-carrer NNS start and his eighth at the one-mile track. In seven starts, the Virginia driver has completed 88.4% of the total laps attempted and has an average finish of 28.4. Last season McClure was on his way to earning a career-best finish when he ran out of fuel during the second attempt at a green-white-checker finish. As a result, the team posted a 31st-place finish.

Virtue of their third and eighth place finishes at Daytona International Speedway, both Ryan Sieg and Jeremy Clements will join Regan Smith and Ryan Reed as part of the four drivers eligible for the Dash for Cash at New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend.

SWEEP IN NEW ENGLAND: Last year, Camry drivers swept the two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) races at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Brian Vickers picked up the first-place trophy in July at the New England track and Matt Kenseth crossed the finish line first in September.

Reed visits New Hampshire Motor Speedway for the first time in his NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) career.

Chris Buescher hit the track at Daytona International Speedway (DIS) for his first NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) race at the two-and-a-half mile track. The Roush Fenway Racing driver had a fast No.60 Roush Performance Parts Mustang and was able to hold his ground within the lead pack after starting in third, running inside the top ten for much of the evening. After avoiding trouble during a late-race caution, Buescher was stuck in the back of the pack without enough time left to make up ground, but fought hard until the last second of a green-white-checkered finish to earn a 12th- place result.

Trevor Bayne makes his fourth NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) start at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Saturday afternoon. In three previous starts at the one-mile oval, Bayne has recorded one top-five and two top-10 finishes.

Granite State...James Buescher comes in to New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend making his first NASCAR Nationwide Series start at the one-mile oval. Buescher, however, is no stranger to the track having made five previous starts at NHMS in other NASCAR series. In three previous NASCAR Camping World Truck Series starts at NHMS, Buescher has recorded two top-10 finishes including a runner-up finish in 2010
