Looking Ahead: August at New Hampshire Motor Speedway

LOUDON, N.H. – With the first Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series weekend in the rearview mirror, the focus shifts to September. But not before a jam-packed month of August that will feature a number of on- and off-track events at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

The speedway will transform into the ultimate athlete playground on Aug. 19 and 20 when Tough Mudder returns for the second straight season. Offering one of the most unique and challenging terrains Tough Mudder has to offer, the 10-mile, 20+ obstacle course at Tough Mudder Northeast Presented by Merrell will weave through the speedway property, including the campgrounds, woods and five-lane highway.

The month of August will also feature the return of Hot Import Nights, which will make its fifth appearance at the New England’s largest sports and entertainment venue on Aug. 26. HIN is the leading producer of touring automotive lifestyle events and the events are attended by thousands of automotive and entertainment enthusiasts each year. HIN and its drifting club partners’ event series features the rising stars of the drifting world in a lifestyle festival that includes car shows, industry models, a vendor midway, and live entertainment – all within the confines of the speedway’s infield.

These are two of the biggest events happening at NHMS in the month of August, but they’re certainly not the only events:
