A source close to New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, NH., confirmed with CompetitionPlus.com the NHRA and Bruton Smith's Speedway Motorsports Inc., have had discussions in regard to building a drag strip on speedway property similar to the one on the grounds of Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, NC. Having a strong northeastern presence has been a priority for the NHRA's upper management since issues regarding the future of Old Bridge Township Raceway Park began to surface in years past. The real issue with the Loudon possibility is the lack of space for such a venue.
