LOUDON, N.H. – NASCAR weekend at “The Magic Mile” is all about fast cars and passionate fans, but it’s also about New England race fans coming together to support kids in need throughout the region. The New Hampshire Chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities (SCCNH), the official charity of New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS), has lots of fun ways for fans to make race weekend memories while also making a difference, including traditional events and new ones.

“Last year’s fundraising was a lot of fun and so successful. I’m thrilled to not only bring those events back, but add a couple new events this year,” said Danielle Cyr, director of the New Hampshire Chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities and marketing for New Hampshire Motor Speedway. “New England race fans are truly the best, and they always step up to the plate when it comes to helping local kids in need.”

The inaugural NASCAR weekend Cornhole Tournament Presented by NBT Bank is a new fundraising event that will be a four-game round robin leading in to a playoff bracket.

Check-in and practice will begin at 2 p.m. Thursday, July 14 in the Fan Zone, and the tournament will start promptly at 3 p.m. Advance registration ($60 per two-person team) is required at SpeedwayCharities.org.
