As the 2024 racing season is right around the corner we figured it was time to release our plans for the upcoming year. The VT&NH Racing News was established only in 2022, when founder Kasen Hodgdon took to the media field in early spring. “Since our first race we covered at White Mountain Motorsports Park in the Spring Green 122 during the month of June, we have grown as a little organization to provide fans around New England the best racing news possible”. Hodgdon stated. “We look to continue that into 2024 and on, not only with the media site but with the newly announced Merchandise Tent presented by our friends at the Passumpsic Savings Bank.
The VT&NH Racing News will be on site for the first annual Vermont Motorsports Expo on March 29th-30th at the B.O.R arena in Barre. Visit the Merch Tent to get your favorite drivers racing gear for the upcoming season. Will have schedules and special event information during both days as long as supplies last. We will also be selling laps for the 2nd annual Keith Morse Memorial 100 at Riverside Speedway on June 14th.
Our first official race of the 2024 season will come in the busy month of April with the Ice Breaker at the Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park in Connecticut. Three busy days of action will kick off our season, but for us to commit to our race fans we must find a sponsor to help us make our first trip to the CT Oval in early spring. All contact information will follow this write-up. Once the 2024 Ice Breaker Champion is crowned we pick up and head back north to the Magic Mile for the 4th annual Northeast Classic at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Friday April 12th and Saturday the 13th, for the first of many ACT&PASS double headers.
