September Brings the Inaugural Full Throttle Fall Weekend to NHMS
Full Throttle Fall Weekend will feature the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Musket 250, NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and NASCAR Pinty’s Series at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Sept. 21-22.

LOUDON, N.H. – As the summer winds down, New Hampshire Motor Speedway is heating up with jam-packed weekends throughout the month of September. Car clubs, motorcycle racing, drifting and racing experiences are just a few of the events taking over the Speedway, but it’s the inaugural Full Throttle Fall Weekend headlining “The Magic Mile” Sept. 21-22 with NASCAR short track racing.

Full Throttle Fall Weekend is set to become the annual must-see, must-attend short track event in New England. This Saturday tripleheader will include the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East championship points race, Canada’s NASCAR Pinty’s Series, who will race for the first time in America, and be headlined by the Musket 250, the longest mileage race in the history of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour.

“This is going to be an unforgettable weekend for short track racers and fans from all over New England,” said David McGrath, executive vice president and general manager of New Hampshire Motor Speedway. “Full Throttle Fall Weekend is full of unprecedented access for our fans, and we are looking forward to the inaugural event hitting the track and quickly becoming the newest fall family tradition.”

To kick off Speedway Children’s Charities New Hampshire Chapter’s fundraising efforts for Full Throttle Fall Weekend, they’re hosting a Charity Clay Shoot on Sept. 20 at 20^th Skeet & Clays in Hooksett. The Red Bucket Brigade will return to the grandstands on Saturday.

New Hampshire Motor Speedway serves as host for many other clubs and events in September including:

Throughout the summer, the Sunapee Racing Team has held cycling events at the Speedway every Thursday, which will continue through Sept. 13. Cyclists from all over New England participate in and promote the sport of competitive cycling with a keen emphasis on its long term viability and growth.

The Loudon Road Race Series’ final two rounds of Championship Cup Series motorcycle racing will take place on the 1.6-mile road course on Sept. 8-9 and 29-30. Over the years, LRRS has developed a reputation for having some of the closest and most intense racing on two wheels.

The J&J’s Yolk & Co. Oval Series Legends and Bandolero Divisions will race on the 0.25-mile mini oval, which is located between turns 1 and 2 on the NHMS oval, Sept. 8, 15 and 29. The series pulls drivers from across New England, and these competitors are narrowing down their chase for 2018 world championship points to compete at the World Championships at Las Vegas Motor Speedway later this fall.

You can catch the Moat Mountain Road Course Series on the 1.6-mile road course Sept. 8-9 and 29-30, featuring drivers from across New England who compete in monthly doubleheaders that coincide with the Loudon Road Race Series weekends.
