New England’s Only NASCAR Weekend Moving to September and the Playoffs in 2025
The NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series will join the NASCAR Cup Series at New Hampshire Motor Speedway Sept. 19-21, 2025.

LOUDON, N.H. – NASCAR roars back to Loudon in a big way in 2025 with New England’s only NASCAR weekend moving to the Playoffs Sept. 19-21, and the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series (NCTS) joining the NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS). The NCS will kick off the Round of 12 while the NCTS drivers will battle it out to remain above the cut line for the Round of 8.

“The two questions fans ask me the most are ‘When are we getting a September race back?’ and ‘When are we getting the Trucks back?’, and now we have both,” said New Hampshire Motor Speedway Executive Vice President and General Manager David McGrath. “We are so thankful to our loyal fans who have supported us during NASCAR’s annual summer stop in New Hampshire, but they wanted this, they deserve this, and we are ecstatic to not only be returning to the NASCAR Playoffs, but we are thrilled to host the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series as well.

“We’re excited to bring our race fans a high-energy weekend with intense action from the sport’s top names who will all be fighting to secure their spot in the next round of the Playoffs during arguably the most beautiful time of year in New England.”

The 2025 NHMS NCS race will be on Sunday, Sept. 21 while the NCTS race will join the Mohegan Sun 100 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour (NWMT) race on Doubleheader Saturday, Sept. 20.

The NCTS most recently raced at NHMS in September 2017. NCS regular Christopher Bell marked his first trip to victory lane at “The Magic Mile” during that race, and he’s since earned a total of seven wins at NHMS after 11 starts across all three series that includes one NCTS win (2017), four NASCAR Xfinity Series wins (2018, 2019, 2021, 2024) and two NCS wins (2022, 2024). His most recent NHMS win came earlier this year after a history-making NCS race in which wet-weather tires specifically designed for racing on damp surfaces were used for the first time in the middle of a NCS race on an oval track.

The 2025 NASCAR weekend will be the only visit by America’s most popular form of motorsport to the six-state New England region. TV/radio broadcast start times, network affiliations and entertainment will be announced at a later date.
