NASCAR is roaring back into New England, and the anticipation is high for next weekend’s Mobil 1 301 NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) Playoffs race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) in Loudon, N.H. Known to fans nationwide as “The Magic Mile,” NHMS combines the adrenaline of short-track racing with the family-friendly atmosphere of a summer festival. Here are the top reasons you need to be there when the green flag drops:
- The Thrill of Short-Track Racing
Unlike superspeedways, where cars spread out over long distances, the 1.058-mile oval at NHMS keeps drivers close and fans closer. The track’s tight corners and flat banking force drivers to battle fiercely for every inch of real estate, creating constant side-by-side action. It’s a style of racing where strategy, timing and precision matter just as much as horsepower. This makes NHMS a favorite among purists who crave authentic, hard-nosed racing.
- See Your Favorite NASCAR Stars Up Close
The NCS brings the sport’s biggest names to Loudon, giving New England fans a rare chance to see their favorite drivers live. Beyond the on-track action, driver appearances, autograph sessions and Q&As give fans the chance to connect with their racing heroes, making NHMS one of the most fan-friendly stops on the schedule. These personal interactions add to the atmosphere, turning a race weekend into an unforgettable memory for fans of all ages.
- A Full Weekend of Fun – All Included with Your Race Ticket
Beyond the roar of engines, your race ticket unlocks a festival-like experience packed with free entertainment for every fan:
- The Fan Zone features games, racing simulators, carnival thrills and interactive displays.
- The NASCAR Kids Zone offers a coloring book car, RC cars and racing-themed challenges for younger fans.
- Free music, Q&As and driver appearances keep the energy high all weekend.
- The New England Atmosphere
There’s something special about NASCAR in New Hampshire. Nestled in the heart of New England, Loudon offers not only racing, but also the charm of small-town hospitality and scenic summer beauty. Fans flock from across the Northeast to camp out, tailgate and celebrate the sport together, creating a sense of community you won’t find anywhere else. Combine the natural backdrop with the roar of engines, and you’ve got a weekend that blends tradition, excitement and pure Americana.
