Fans will be in attendance for the August NASCAR Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, the track announced Thursday, June 25.
New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu has approved a comprehensive plan to attend the Cup race, which was rescheduled from Sunday, July 19.
The grandstands and suites will be open to fans while still maintaining social distance requirements and additional health and safety protocols. Some of those protocols include enhanced cleaning and sanitation in high-touch, high-traffic public areas, added hand sanitizer stations and infield admission for race team and operational personnel only.
The track did not announce how many fans would be allowed to attend the race nor how tickets will be distributed if it is limited attendance.
Update
BREAKING: The state of NH has worked with @NHMS to allow for fans at the #Foxwoods301 @NASCAR race on August 2nd.
The speedway can operate at UP TO 35% capacity in the grandstands to allow for proper social distancing.

Will be interesting as it gets closer if the NY/NJ/CT quarantine edict is still in place for those coming from North Carolina. You can’t get to New Hampshire without passing through at least one of these states.
Not sure if it applies if you are simply travelling to a another state.
No they won’t. The people with brains anyways! NASCAR and “Bubba” just pissed on the fanbase, and told you it was raining! IMO!
