New Hampshire Track Unchanged

New Hampshire International Speedway, the scene of two driver deaths this year, won’t be changed when NASCAR returns in two weeks, and that isn’t playing so well in the garage area.

“We really are looking for something to happen,” Rusty Wallace said Saturday. “I think that most every driver in this garage area will be totally blown away . . . if we go back to New Hampshire and those walls aren’t lined with that Styrofoam.”

Mike Helton, NASCAR’s chief operating officer, said earlier in the day that the sanctioning body had no plans to order changes at the 1.058-mile oval where Busch Series driver Adam Petty and Winston Cupper Kenny Irwin were killed in accidents eight weeks apart.
