Lenox Industrial Tools 301 - NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
New Hampshire Intl Speedway , Loudon, New Hampshire |
After nine months of building, New Hampshire Motor Speedway was ready for its first race. The year was 1990. It also house races for the Loudon Classic motorcycles, SCCA races, and the WKA go-kart. It held the record for being the largest track in New England until renovations were made to it creating the largest track anywhere in the region. NASCAR held its first race in 1990 during the month of July.
New Hampshire Motor Speedway also hosts competition in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series; the Busch Series, North Division and the Modified Tour, and every car that takes to the track’s unique shape and configuration finds it challenging.
New Hampshire Motor Speedway has been described as “Martinsville on steroids,” and the similarities are apparent. Like Martinsville, New Hampshire Motor Speedway features a pair of long straightaways connected by narrow, relatively flat turns.
Jeff Burton is the career leader with four Cup victories at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, which hosted one Cup event per season from 1993 until 1996 and since then has had two dates per season.
