"The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series is excited to return to New England and
New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend, after a fun three-race swing through
the Midwest.
"Racing in New England in September is always great, as the weather and leaves
changing colors typically signifies the beginning of fall. Heading to New
England also means we'll have a chance to feast on some lobsters.
"Like our last two races at Iowa and Gateway, New Hampshire is a short track,
but it offers unique features. The long straightaways and relatively flat
surface produces interesting challenges for our drivers. They have to hit their
braking points correctly going into the turns before hitting the gas early and
hard heading down the straights.
"We have had some memorable races at New Hampshire, as well as some memorable
restarts. The largest margin of victory we've had is under five seconds, and
only three times has a polesitter taken the checkered flag first, which shows
drivers from any starting position can run up front and win at New Hampshire.
Also, all four manufacturers have tasted victory at the track.
"And we can't forget Ron Hornaday Jr., though his season has already proven
unforgettable. He will be going for his record fourth NASCAR Camping World Truck
Series victory at the Magic Mile, as well as his seventh on the season.
"As always, we're looking forward to another weekend showcasing our style of
racing in front of the New England fans and putting on a terrific race." - Wayne
Auton, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Director
