The TV channel for a NASCAR race is elusive enough in a normal season when Fox and FS1 trade broadcasts of Cup Series events through the first half of the schedule before NBC and NBCSN take over for the second half. The schedule shake-up associated with the coronavirus pandemic make the "what channel is today's NASCAR race on" question even more understandable.
Today, for the third time this season, the TV channel for the NASCAR race is NBCSN. The Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway marks NBC/NBCSN's fourth broadcast of the season, as Fox/FS1's slate ended with the July 15 All-Star Race.

The New Hampshire race originally was scheduled to run in late July but was rescheduled to early August amid the pandemic.
The start time for this year's NASCAR Cup Series race at New Hampshire, though, remains 3 p.m. ET as originally scheduled.

NBCSN is the TV channel for Sunday's NASCAR race at New Hampshire as originally scheduled, which wasn't the case for the network's first two races of 2020. Of the 20 NASCAR Cup Series races NBC will broadcast in 2020, 12 were scheduled to be shown on NBCSN with the other eight on NBC's flagship cable network.
As for Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race on NBCSN, the network has a channel finder feature for viewers to find the TV channel options in their areas.
As is the case for all the Cup Series races on NBC and NBCSN this season, Rick Allen will call the race with the assistance of analysts Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Burton and Steve Letarte.
What time does the NASCAR race start today?
- Date: Sunday, Aug. 2
- Start time: 3 p.m. ET
The green flag for Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at New Hampshire will wave shortly after 3 p.m. ET, assuming there are no rain delays as there have been so often since NASCAR returned to live racing in May.
Though NASCAR will have plenty of time to get the race in with the sun not setting in Loudon until shortly after 8 p.m. ET, the relatively late start time for an afternoon race is notable because New Hampshire Motor Speedway does not have lights.
It's worth noting that Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race is a standalone event with no Xfinity or Truck Series races at the track this weekend, so NASCAR would not need to worry about schedule conflicts should the Cup race get delayed by weather.
NASCAR live stream for New Hampshire race
Anybody who has a cable or satellite subscription can stream Sunday's NASCAR race at New Hampshire live via NBCSports.com or the NBC Sports app. This should be the preferred route for a viewer who has such a subscription but isn't able to get in front of his or her TV.

The Darlington race on May 17 ran instead of the the Chicagoland race that was originally scheduled for June 21. The Darlington race on May 20 ran instead of the postponed Richmond race that was originally scheduled for April 19. The Charlotte race on May 27 ran instead of the Sonoma race that was originally scheduled for June 14.
The Pocono doubleheader remained as previously scheduled for the final weekend of June, with the Cup Series racing on back-to-back days. Those races were presented on Fox (and FS1) rather than on NBC. Fox's closed its coverage this season with the All-Star Race at Bristol on July 15.
The previously postponed races at Dover and Michigan are now part of Saturday-Sunday doubleheaders at those respective tracks in August.
Because New York requires people to quarantine for 14 days after traveling from one of the states impacted heavily by COVID-19 (including North Carolina), the Watkins Glen race on Aug. 16 was moved to the Daytona road course. According to The Athletic, NASCAR tried to get a quarantine waiver for its Watkins Glen races but was denied by Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office.
The Aug. 16 race will be the NASCAR Cup Series' first on the road course at Daytona.
