Loudon

When NASCAR makes its return to New Hampshire in August, there will be fans in the stands. Fans will be allowed to attend the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301, with several social distancing requirements and additional health and safety protocols, New Hampshire Motor Speedway announced on Thursday.

The rescheduled race, which will take place Aug. 2 at 3 p.m., will be the largest fan event in New England since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. It's unclear how many fans will be allowed in, but the 88,000 seat speedway will not be full.

Modified protocols at "The Magic Mile" include social distancing in the grandstands and concession lines, enhanced cleaning and sanitation in high-touch, high-traffic public areas, added hand-sanitizer stations, limited guests in suites, and infield admission for race team and operational personnel only.
