New England is set to host a major motorsports gathering with its only NASCAR Cup Series weekend taking place at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) from August 21st to 23rd. This event draws nearly 40 drivers, and what truly amplifies the excitement for these competitors is the palpable energy emanating from the local fans.
NASCAR Cup Series drivers attending the weekend have shared how much they thrive on the atmosphere in New England. Drivers like Ryan Preece, Chase Elliott, and Denny Hamlin noted that the genuine passion of the regional fanbase radiates into the garage, providing an electric backdrop for the competition. For many, experiencing this local enthusiasm is as exciting as the racing itself.
The weekend schedule is packed with action beyond the Cup Series.
