Track Info
New Hampshire Motor Speedway - Loudon, New Hampshire, USA
The Magic Mile - 1.058 mi oval - asphalt - 4 turns - progressive banking 2° to ~7° in corners - 1° straights
When was the track built?
Constructed in 1989–1990 on the site of Bryar Motorsports Park, NHMS debuted with a 1.058 mi oval and a 1.6 mi road course. Banking revisions in 2002 created today’s 2° to ~7° progressive profile, with SAFER barriers added in 2003.
When was its first race?
The oval’s first race was a NASCAR Busch Series event in July 1990 won by Tommy Ellis. The venue hosted its first NASCAR Cup race on July 11, 1993, won by Rusty Wallace.
What’s the circuit like?
- Flat-mile chess: Patience on entry and drive off the corner matter more than raw power.
- Progressive lanes: The widened surface and staggered banking let drivers work high or low in traffic.
- Quali vs race pace: Cup qualifying records have topped 140 mph, but race laps are ~30 seconds as tyre wear and traffic build.
Lap records and benchmarks
- Outright (qualifying): 0:21.466 - Andre Ribeiro - Reynard 95I - CART - 1995.
- NASCAR Cup - qualifying track record: 27.090 s - 140.598 mph - Brad Keselowski - Sep 2014.
- NASCAR Cup - race lap: 0:29.862 - Brad Keselowski - 2021.
- IndyCar - race lap: 0:22.3481 - Scott Dixon - 2011.
Why go?
The Magic Mile rewards racecraft. You’ll see crossovers into Turn 1, long green runs with strategy swings, and late-race restarts that decide everything. New England crowds add atmosphere without giant-campus hassles.
Where’s the best place to watch?
- Turn 1 lower: Brake-point duels on restarts.
- Turn 2 exit: Momentum check - who rotated the center best.
- Frontstretch upper rows: Pit road, timing lines, and the whole mile in view.
Not just one series - headline events
NASCAR Cup: Mobil 1 301 has run since 1993, recently as a playoff Round of 12 opener.
Indy cars: CART 1992–1995 and IRL/IndyCar 1996–1998, 2011.
Motorcycles: Home of the Loudon Classic, the oldest U.S. motorcycle race.
