LOUDON, N.H. – Late-model stock car drivers will race in New Hampshire Motor Speedway’s inaugural American-Canadian Tour Invitational during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Sylvania 300 weekend next September.

The invitational will have a purse of more than $65,000 for invited and approved teams.

Jerry Gappens, speedway vice president and general manager, says the speedway has been looking for a way to support the short track industry throughout the Northeast and Quebec/Ontario markets.
