By the Numbers: New Hampshire

LOUDON, N.H. -- New Hampshire International Speedway has a 12-year history in NASCAR Cup racing, and with its position as the inaugural event in the 2004 Chase for the Nextel Cup, its most notable event is Sunday's Sylvania 300.

Kurt Busch, the most recent NHIS Cup winner and Jimmie Johnson, the defending champion of the Sylvania 300 and seeking his third victory at Loudon, are the ones most likely to add to NHIS's statistical legacy on Sunday.
