Today’s fans want more than great racing – they want great value. As entertainment and travel costs continue to rise, race fans are looking for experiences that deliver the most excitement, memories and convenience for their dollar. Fortunately, New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) has built New England’s only NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) weekend around exactly that idea. From affordable ticket options and free parking to included entertainment and flexible camping opportunities, there are plenty of ways to maximize your experience without maximizing your budget.
Arrive Early and Enjoy More
One of the best ways to increase the value of your NASCAR weekend is to treat it as more than a race day. NHMS offers camping options that allow fans to turn a few hours at the track into a multi-day getaway. Instead of paying for multiple activities across a weekend vacation, fans can enjoy racing, live entertainment, fan experiences and campground activities all in one destination. NHMS camping lots open a full week before New England's only NCS weekend, allowing visitors to extend their stay and explore New Hampshire’s Lakes Region while making NHMS their home base.
Take Advantage of Family-Friendly Savings
For families, NASCAR weekend delivers exceptional value. Kids 12 and under get in free on Doubleheader Saturday and for just $10 on Sunday, making it easy to enjoy a full weekend of racing without stretching the family budget. Pair that with free parking and entertainment included throughout the weekend, and NHMS offers an affordable way for families to experience NASCAR together while creating lasting memories.
Pack Your Own Race-Day Favorites
One of the most underrated money-saving opportunities at NHMS is the ability to bring your own food and beverages into the grandstands using approved coolers. While many sporting venues require fans to purchase all food and drinks onsite, NHMS’s fan-friendly policies allow guests to pack snacks, meals and refreshments, making it easier to manage costs while enjoying a full day at the track.
Don’t Miss the Free Entertainment
The value extends well beyond the racing itself. Throughout NASCAR weekend, fans can enjoy live music, interactive fan experiences, driver appearances, family activities and entertainment throughout the property. Events such as “The Magic Mile” Happy Hour Show, concerts at The Groove, Fan Zone activities and family-friendly attractions provide hours of additional entertainment that are included as part of the race weekend experience.
Plan Ahead for a Smoother Experience
Survey feedback consistently shows that convenience plays a major role in how fans evaluate value. Purchasing tickets in advance, reviewing event schedules before arrival and arriving early can help fans spend less time waiting and more time enjoying everything race weekend has to offer. When great racing, free entertainment, family-friendly pricing and fan-focused amenities come together, it’s easy to see why NHMS continues to deliver one of the best values in motorsports.
