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 opportunities and new ones.
“We’re excited to offer the new reusable bags and track treasures for race fans to purchase this year as well as host the traditional events, such as the 50/50 Raffle, Track Walk and Wicked Good Live Auction, they look forward to when they come to New Hampshire Motor Speedway for NASCAR weekend,” said Speedway Children’s Charities New Hampshire Chapter Director and New Hampshire Motor Speedway Director of Marketing Danielle Cyr. “Funds from all of these events will help a ton of children throughout New England.”
