welcome!<br />
Burlington<br />
Maine<br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>Hampshire</strong> <strong>Motor</strong> <strong>Speedway</strong> is the largest sports and<br />
entertainment facility in <strong>New</strong> England and will host the three biggest<br />
sporting events in the six-state region as part of its exciting <strong>2011</strong><br />
racing schedule.<br />
Located approximately one hour north of Boston, the speedway hosts<br />
more than 100,000 spectators at each of its two prestigious NASCAR<br />
Sprint Cup Series races. Our NASCAR event weekends draw larger<br />
crowds than the Super Bowl, the NBA Finals, the World Series and<br />
the NCAA Final Four events. The facility is active every day from<br />
April through October and attracts more than 500,000 guests during<br />
the season.<br />
<strong>New</strong> for <strong>2011</strong>, the IZOD IndyCar Series is back after a 13-year<br />
absence! This “<strong>New</strong> Breed of Speed” will showcase the cars and<br />
stars of the Indianapolis 500 with close wheel-to-wheel action and<br />
speeds topping 200 mph.<br />
The speedway features a wide variety of racing sanctioned by<br />
NASCAR and is equally as proud of the grassroots racing programs<br />
run on the 1.6-mile road course highlighted throughout this brochure.<br />
While attending the races at NHMS, make plans to spend some time<br />
enjoying the State’s scenic beauty, unique attractions and tax-free<br />
shopping.<br />
Once you visit the Granite State, you may never want to go home!”<br />
