NASCAR Announces 2016 Schedules for Sprint Cup, XFINITY Series

The first of the track’s two NASCAR weekends is June 10-12 with the Corrigan Oil 200 ARCA Racing Series on June 10; NASCAR XFINITY Series on June 11; and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series FireKeepers Casino 400 on June 12.

New Hampshire Motor Speedway will host a pair of NASCAR Sprint Cup dates in 2016, marking the 20th consecutive season the circuit has visited the 1.058-mile oval in Loudon, N.H.

Dates haven’t been finalized for the Camping World Truck Series and regional touring series (K&N Pro Series East, Whelen Modified Tour and the ACT), but McGrath expects an announcement soon, he said.

The 2015 NASCAR season has yet to conclude, but that doesn’t mean fans can’t look ahead to next year.

Watkins Glen global is proud to announce that the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will return to Western New York for the Cheez-It™ 355 on Sunday, August 7, 2016.

NASCAR announced Monday that it came to agreements on five-year deals with its national series tracks, ensuring that there will be no races taken from any of the venues in that time. “The live event experience always will be important to creating a lifetime fan in NASCAR”.

“Among the goals that we set out to accomplish with our track partners was to provide consistency for race fans and the industry stakeholders”.

Watkins Glen worldwide received a commitment from NASCAR for five more years of Sprint Cup Series racing.

“We salute NASCAR for their ongoing collaboration in preserving the strength of our sport”, Ed Clark, Atlanta Motor Speedway president, said in a statement.

“We learned that NASCAR Goes West worked very well in keeping momentum and interest for NASCAR in these markets”, O’Donnell said. “The tracks put a lot of effort behind making it successful and we think it can continue to have a positive impact as it gains traction from being an annual effort”.
