Once again the NELCAR Legends are returning to New Hampshire Motor Speedway, to race on the 1.6 mile road course. The legend cars are reaching speeds in excess of 110 mph as they race down the front stretch and one of the drivers looking for his first career win, is Matt Chagnot, from Derry, NH.
Matt’s thoughts on returning to NHMS, “I can’t wait for this upcoming race, and I feel like I am as prepared as a rookie can be. Since I only have a single race on a road course under my belt, I’m not 100% up to speed on how to tweak the setups to be faster. I’ll be making some minor changes when I get to the track, and bolting on a new set of tires, so I should be faster than I was the previous race on the road course.”
