LOUDON, N.H. (May 22, 2012) – The north end garage at New Hampshire Motor Speedway has been the home of NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series for nearly two decades. But when stock car racing’s premier circuit returns to Loudon for the LENOX Industrial Tools 301 on July 15, they will have a new home in the infield center garage, a move that is expected to make life easier for teams and fans alike.
“This is a culmination of about four years of planning,” said John Zudell, New Hampshire Motor Speedway vice president of operations and development. “When we rearranged the south half of the infield in 2009, it started the conversation of putting the Sprint Cup Series in the center garage. This upcoming season, fans will be able to see Cup drivers in the center of the infield.”

Austin Theriault: ACT Late Model Tour
Oxford Plains Speedway Race Report
Austin Theriault of Fort Kent, Maine, finished fifth in the ACT Late Model Tour Armed Forces Day 150 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine, on Sunday, May 20. Theriault started third in the 33-car field, but a tire issue that plagued many of the ACT teams in qualifying threw a curveball at the No. 57 Pelletier Ford Ford Fusion team.

Still, Theriault posted his third Top-5 finish in four starts this season and closed on the ACT Late Model Tour points leaders.
