The 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)
This race has been traditionally run in July, but from 2007 to 2010 it was run in June 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. Beginning in 2011 the race will return to its traditional mid-July date.
