New Hampshire International Speedway -- sometimes referred to as "Loudon" in respect to the town in which it resides -- has hosted NASCAR NEXTEL Cup series races since 1993. It started out with only one race a year, but added a second date in 1997. Inside Loudon's oval track is a 1.6-mile road course that hosts motorcycle, sports car, and karting events.

NASCAR races that have been run on New Hampshire International Speedway's oval include the Slick 50 300 (1993-1995), the Jiffy Lube 300 (1996-1999), and the New Hampshire 300 (2001-2002). The New England 300 returned for 2006 after a stint in 2001-2003, and the Sylvania 300 -- the first race in the Chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup -- has been run there since 2003.
