A Weekend of Speed and Spectacle
The NASCAR Cup Series weekend at New Hampshire Motor Speedway unfolds from August 21 through 23, bringing together the premier stock‑car division, the NASCAR Truck Series and the Whelen Modified Tour in a tightly packed schedule.
Saturday’s headline event, the Mohegan Sun 100, draws particular attention for its close‑quarters modified racing, a format that has earned praise from several drivers. Ross Chastain, who pilots the No. 1 Trackhouse Racing entry, notes the unique drafting and power characteristics of the modified cars on the flat, high‑banked track, while Kyle Larson of the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports team calls the race an exciting showcase for the sport.
The weekend’s action kicks off on Friday with practice and qualifying for both the Modified Tour and the Truck Series, continues on Saturday with the Team EJP 175 Truck Series race followed by the Mohegan Sun 100, and culminates on Sunday with the Dollar Tree 301 Cup Series event. Drivers such as Josh Berry of Wood Brothers Racing and Ty Dillon of Kaulig Racing have expressed enthusiasm for the variety of competition and the chance to experience the modified discipline firsthand.
Beyond the on‑track thrills, the event offers a family‑friendly atmosphere with off‑track entertainment including the ‘The Magic Mile’ Happy Hour Show, live concerts, fireworks displays and a range of activities designed for younger fans.
Tickets are available through NHMS.com or by calling 833‑4LOUDON, with special pricing that makes Sunday admission especially affordable for children under 12.
