New Hampshire International Speedway

Built on the site of the old Bryar Motorsports Park, the New Hampshire International Speedway road course uses one corner from the old Bryar track. Known as "The Magic Mile" the track is a one-mile (actually 1.058-mile) oval-shaped track, and its turns feature a 12 degree bank. The front straight is 1,500 feet and the back straight is also 1, 500 feet. Described as "Martinsville on steroids," New Hampshire International Speedway is considered one of the most unusual tracks on the Nextel Cup Series.
