A Doubleheader Weekend at the Magic Mile
On Saturday, September 20, 2025, New Hampshire Motor Speedway will host a rare doubleheader that blends the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with the Whelen Modified Tour, giving fans two distinct racing experiences on the same historic oval.
The centerpiece of the event is the Team EJP 175, a race that will showcase a mix of veteran talent and emerging competitors, while the Mohegan Sun 100 will add a different style of competition to the schedule.
Gio Ruggiero, a native of Seekonk, Massachusetts, returns to his home track after capturing the 2025 Rookie of the Year award, bringing a hometown crowd to cheer him on. Joining him will be Cole Butcher, a Canadian driver from Nova Scotia making his Truck Series debut, and Stewart Friesen, a seasoned Ontario veteran who is back after recovering from injuries sustained earlier in the year.
The weekend’s schedule begins on Friday with practice and qualifying sessions, setting the stage for Saturday’s twin races. Sunday will cap the action with the Dollar Tree 301 NASCAR Cup Series event, completing a three‑day showcase of stock car racing.
Beyond the on‑track competition, the event offers a full slate of off‑track entertainment, including concerts, driver autograph sessions, fireworks displays and the popular ‘Magic Mile Happy Hour Show,’ creating a festival atmosphere for families and enthusiasts alike.
Tickets are available through NHMS.com, with special pricing that includes free admission for children under 12 on Doubleheader Saturday and discounted rates for Sunday’s Cup race, making the weekend accessible to a broad fan base.
The doubleheader marks New England’s only NASCAR Cup Series weekend of the season, underscoring the region’s deep-rooted racing heritage and promising a memorable experience for both longtime followers and newcomers.
