“For the 18th straight year, we are thrilled to host two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events here in New England for our very supportive fan base that included ticket-buyers from 44 states and 12 foreign countries this past season.” Jerry Gappens, executive vice president and general manager at NHMS said in a release. “After a lot of feedback and encouragement from our fans the past two years, we have worked with NASCAR to bring back the trucks. Our schedule of three NASCAR national touring series, supported by two to three regional touring series gives us two entertaining NASCAR race weekends for our fans.”

I guess just hosting the “WMT” “ACT” and “K&NPE” is not enough to bring in the fans. I wonder why for 60$ it did not work out.
Glad to see the trucks back at NHMS.
