New Hampshire has found a sponsor
In 2018, New Hampshire is set to lose it’s 2nd NASCAR date. The city of Las Vegas basically paid the way for a 2nd date at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
To make room, they took the 2nd date away from New Hampshire. A big part of that decision was NH attendance numbers and the lack of a race sponsor.
Well, they just found a sponsor for 1 of the 2017 events.
