New Hampshire Motor Speedway- 2021 Latest News, Winners, Qualifying, Track

New Hampshire Motor Speedway is a 1.058-mile (1.703 km) oval speedway situated in Loudon, New Hampshire, which has facilitated NASCAR hustling yearly since 1990, as well as the longest-running bike race in North America, the Loudon Classic. Nicknamed "The Magic Mile," the speedway is frequently changed over into a 1.6-mile (2.6 km) street course, which incorporates a large part of the oval.

The track was initially the site of Bryar Motorsports Park prior to being bought and redeveloped by Bob Bahre. The track is presently one of eight significant NASCAR tracks owned and operated by Speedway Motorsports.

History

The track opened as New Hampshire International Speedway in June 1990, following nine months of development after the Bahre family's acquisition of the Bryar Motorsports Park. The current street circuit was redeveloped into a multi-purpose track, with NASCAR-endorsed races added to the mainstream Loudon Classic bike, WKA go-kart, and SCCA races on the complex.

Upon completion, it turned into the biggest speedway in New England, and later extension has made it the biggest games and diversion setting of any sort in the district.

NASCAR made its introduction at the track in July 1990, with a Busch Series race won by Tommy Ellis. For a very long time, the Busch Series facilitated a couple of races at the track every year.

The Busch races were fruitful. Loudon acquired a spot on the NASCAR Cup Series plan for 1993. Rusty Wallace won the debut Slick 50 300 in July of that year.
