“We’re thrilled to have MRS coming back to White Mountain,” track co-owner Cris Michaud said. “They have a history of great racing that goes back nearly 20 years.

We’re looking forward to a great show for our current fans and introducing new fans to the track.”
In another addition to the 2022 schedule, White Mountain has confirmed the return of the Senior Tour Auto Racers (STAR) on Saturday, July 23.
