Dont know how this might affect us, but it seems like Bruton wants Nascar to stay in NH

ESPN - If attendance remains strong, Cup dates in Loudon should be safe - Racing

shouldnt affect anything. might take away one race/track weekend if they actually end up getting another 'big boy' race there. We'll see, i dont think that they'll add another one though.

More changes are coming. Smith probably will add seats if the Cup events continue to sell out. There also are rumors that he might reconfigure the racing surface to add banking.



"Those things always are possible with Bruton," Gappens said. "He has engineers and architects exploring all the options. I know he has blue prints in his office. In the end, he'll make the decision himself. He always says he is a democracy: one man, one vote."

Say while you're at it, there is this road course that could use....

[Pittenger5]

There will be no road course if those changes are made. Whether he decides to add one is another matter.

Thanks Pete! Im trying to start a new rumor!

Word on the street is an updated oval with high banks. Also been hearing talk from those 'in-the-know' of a good possibility of a new road course. There will no doubt be grandstands added on the backstretch (read: no more 'bowl'), but he also sees the value in getting a professional motorcycle race back. There's also been rumblings about a drag strip...

BTW-There's already two 'cup' events there each year...
