Sunday July 16
2:30 pm ET
New Hampshire International Speedway opened in June 1990. "The Magic Mile" is a 1.058-mile oval speedway as well as the longest-running motorcycle race in North America, the Loudon Classic. The speedway is often converted into a 1.600-mile road course, which includes much of the oval.
In 2000, the track was the site of a pair of fatal collisions which took the lives of two promising young drivers. In May, while practicing for a Busch Series race, 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.

Maybe I didn't pay enough attention in the past, but I always found NH boring and unexciting. Still do.

The November 2001 race at NH was fairly good. It was raced in November instead of right after 9/11, the only NASCAR race Robby Gordon won.
