Time to head up north to the 1.058 mile oval at Loudon, New Hampshire. "The Magic Mile" is often converted into a 1.6-mile road course. The track is also used for the Loudon Classic motorcycle, WKA go-kart and SCCA races.
In 2000, the track was the site of a pair of fatal collisions which took the lives of two promising young drivers. In May, Adam Petty perished when his throttle stuck exiting the second turn, resulting in a full speed crash head-on in the middle of the third and fourth turns. When the NASCAR Cup Series made their first appearance of the season, a similar fate befell 1998 Rookie of the Year Kenny Irwin, Jr. For safety reasons, track owners decided to run restrictor plates on the cars during their return trip to the speedway in September 2000. This resulted in an uneventful Dura Lube 300 won by Jeff Burton, which had no lead changes.
The 2001 New Hampshire 300 was originally scheduled for September 16, the Sunday after the September 11 terrorist attacks. The event was postponed until November 23 of that year, which was the Friday after Thanksgiving. There was much concern about the weather, but race day turned out to be unseasonably mild. Robby Gordon won that race.
Pick your favorite five drivers.
