In coordination with NASCAR, race breaks and stage lengths have been set for all three national series, as officially announced on Thursday by New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The new racing format, which unveiled by NASCAR three weeks ago, was determined through great deal of discussion across the industry in an effort to provide the most exciting racing for the fans.

"I truly believe that this new format is going to provide our fans with something really special," said David McGrath, executive vice president and general manager. "The stage is set for some of the most unrelenting and intense racing that we have ever seen here at New Hampshire Motor Speedway."
