The Camping World RV Sales 301 is one of two races in the NASCAR Sprint Cup that take place annually at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon , New Hampshire .

The race was first held in 1993. During the race weekend in 2000, when the race was still called "thatlook.com 300", there was a fatal accident when Kenny Irwin Jr. , the 1998 Winston Cup Rookie of the Year, was killed in an accident. In the following race in New Hampshire, the Dura Lube 300 in September 2000, air restrictors were used.

For marketing reasons, the 2008 season was renamed Lenox Industrial Tools 301 , with which the sponsor wanted to underline its campaign to go an extra mile for its customers. The slogan "The Extra Mile at the Magic Mile" was associated with the race. However, this is not entirely correct, because the 301 does not refer to the race length in miles, but to the number of laps (a total of 318,458 miles). When the sponsor Camping World took over the sponsorship in 2013, the decision was made to keep the extra round, as the idea was well received by many fans.
