The New Hampshire 300 formerly known as Lenox Industrial Tools 301 is a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire. Newell Rubbermaid, through its Lenox Industrial Tools subsidiary, is the title sponsor of the race and has been since 2006. Organizers added an extra lap starting in 2008 to represent that Lenox Industrial Tools "is looking for users and suppliers of industrial tools that go the extra mile, whose jobs are physically demanding, day after day, and still find time to contribute to their communities in a meaningful way." The race has been dubbed "The Extra Mile at the Magic Mile." The title is a misnomer, however, as races at New Hampshire are not run by miles but instead by laps. The spring race in 318.5 miles (512.508 km) in length while the fall race, the Sylvania 300, is 317.4 (510.806). In fact, the first two races with the 301 lap distance did not go the whole distance. In 2008 Kurt Busch won the race after it was called due to rain after 284 laps. Then in 2009 Joey Logano became the youngest winner in Cup history after the race was also called due to rain after 273 laps, at the age of 19 years, 1 month, and 4 days.

This race has been traditionally run in July, but from 2007 to 2010 it was run in late June/early July as the race preceding the Coke Zero 400 in order to allow that race to run as close to the 4th of July as possible. In 2011 the race returned to its traditional mid-July date.
