The New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) is a staple part of the NASCAR Series, operating since 1990 in Loudon, New Hampshire, an hour and a half ride north of Boston, Massachusetts. The famous NASCAR Speedway is a typical 1.058-mile (1.703 km) oval track with heavy banking in the corners. But this is not all the NHMS complex offers, featuring a 1.6-mile (2.57-km) road course that shares a portion of the oval and regularly hosts the Loudon Classic, the longest-running motorcycle race of the United States. The addition of six turns featuring impressive elevation changes to the NASCAR oval increases the technical level required to compete successfully in the track.
Races start at the middle of the front straightaway, going counter-clockwise and taking turn one right before the entry to the oval speedway. Turns 1A and two lead into a short back straightaway that uses the banked oval straight until reaching number three, where racers turn heavily to the right and start going uphill. Divers dive back down in turn 5 to face a banked corner in turn six, where they touch the bottom and start going up again. The tire-screeching turn number 9 leads into re-entry to the oval speedway in a 90° turn number 10, with turns 11 and 12 completing the circuit.
