I realize that may be your home track, but a LOT of us think that track sucks. Its one of the most boring races of the year. Indy/Champcars couldn't put on a good show there, Taxicabs are a joke on a flat track. Plus it took the lives of two of the best young guns, Kenny Irwin and Adam Petty. 
Sorry if I hurt your feelings.....

It might place me as a member of the minority, but I think the racing is excellent at New Hampshire and think there should be more tracks like it. Of course, I like smaller tracks -- so that might be my reasoning -- I wish they would have never left Rockingham or North Wilkesboro. That's probably a bit weird, too, because North Wilkesboro became defunct because of the purchase of New Hampshire.
Anyways, it was unfortunate what happened to Adam and Kenny but you can't blame it on the track in my opinion. If we do, then we have to say that racing could no longer take place at Daytona or any other track where a driver has been killed. As unfortunate as it is, it's a risk that is all part of racing.

They will probably give another race to someone on the west coast.
I had heard awhile back that they will be taking away a race from Michigan too .... Soon all the races will be at the homes of only one owner... that will be sad.
Too many good races have already been lost, between that and them moving races from traditional dates ...

Let's wait till later this AM to see what Bruton has to say before everyone in the NE jumps off the proverbial cliff.
I happen to think the flat one mile tracks put on some of the best racing around. Now I am a bit biased, I live within 2 miles of the Milwaukee Mile and the Busch (Nationwide), Craftsman Trucks and yes, the IRL put on great shows on our flat track. We'll never see a cup date here but, that's OK.
I've been a cup fan since the 60's. I've seen all the greats race on our track. Kulwicki, Allison(s), Petty(s), Earnhardt(s), Baker, Richmond, Trickle, Marcis, Foyt, Andretti, Mears.
Many bemoan the fact that NASCAR is moving away from it's "roots" My thought on that is, Did NASCAR really want to remain a "regional" series?
If you look back at the last race at North Wilkesboro, That track needed some serious work, They still had railroad ties and a steel guardrail in the turns, and attendance was terrible, The Rock rarely sold out and they didn't have 160,000 seats to fill.
More and more areas want a cup date, I was extremely disappointed when Chicagoland was built and given a Cup date. (What about Milwaukee???) NASCAR still wants a track in the Pacific NW, Where's that date going to come from?
I for one am glad to see NASCAR going to more areas of the country and into Canada and Mexico. Both of those races pack em in. However I do not want them going to Monaco or Belize or something like that.
I know I'm rambling a bit, but NASCAR is evolving and changing because it has to, not everyone is happy about it. Change is hard. Lot's more going on than just the sale of Loudon.
