LOUDON, N.H. – Fans headed to New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) for New England’s only NASCAR Playoffs weekend are in for a wicked good time at “The Magic Mile” as drivers take to the track for three full days of action-packed racing this Friday through Sunday, Sept. 19-21. From one driver’s chance to go back-to-back and be the first to lock in to the NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) Playoffs Round of 8 to the majority of the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series (NCTS) field racing at NHMS for the very first time during a cutoff race, there will be no shortage of thrilling, white-knuckled excitement for fans to enjoy. Here are five must-watch storylines headed into the weekend:
CLAREMONT, N.H. – Claremont Motorsports Park closed out the Weekly Racing Series portion of its ambitious 78th season of oval track competition Friday, crowning eight different drivers as champions of their 2025 divisions, no fewer than four of them first timers atop their classes at the historic third-mile speedplant.

N. Woodstock, NH — Thirty-seven Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour teams made the trek to New Hampshire’s scenic White Mountain Motorsports Park to contest both the 47th Bar Harbor Bank & Trust Fall Foliage 200 and crown the 2025 Brookside Equipment Sales Triple Crown champion. With the hills surrounding the popular quarter mile alight with bright yellows, deep reds and the occasional orange tint, the time was right for the annual autumn special.
One thing is becoming abundantly clear with the budding driving career of 18-year-old Chase Grennan of Glen Cove, the bright spotlight of signature NASCAR Modified events at Riverhead Raceway doesn’t intimidate him at all. In fact, he thrives on them and has been dubbed with the moniker “Big Time”. Saturday, the college freshman set fast time and led all but the first lap of the Cecil Palm Tree 66 for his third win of the season, all Crown Jewel Series events for the Ted Christopher Cup. Add his upset win in the 2024 Islip 300 and the only left for “Big Time” Chase to accomplish is to win a 50-lap weekly event.
(Stafford Springs, CT)—Stafford Speedway hosted USNE First Responder Friday on September 12th with the TC 13 Shootout joining Stafford’s five weekly divisions in feature action. The SK Modified® division ran their regularly scheduled 40-lap feature as well as the 3rd Annual TC 13 Shootout, a 13 lap race contested between the top-13 finishers from the 40-lap feature. Michael Christopher, Jr. was the big winner of the night taking home the TC 13 Shootout trophy and the $1,313 to win TC 13 Shootout.
The NHMS Operations and Maintenance teams have worked tirelessly for months to ensure New Hampshire Motor Speedway is ready to welcome race fans starting this Saturday when campgrounds open for New England’s only NASCAR Playoffs weekend next weekend.
LOUDON, N.H. – This Saturday, Sept. 13 marks the start of nine days of NASCAR in New England with campgrounds opening at 8 a.m. to welcome thousands of campers from all over who make New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) their home-away-from-home while their favorite drivers battle it out on “The Magic Mile.” The NHMS Operations and Maintenance teams have worked tirelessly for months preparing the 1,200-acre property, from the campgrounds to the racetrack, to shine its brightest.
