Summary
Loudon fans gathering for the Dollar Tree 301 said the race weekend remains as much about tradition as NASCAR, with families and friends returning year after year.
Decades-long rituals center on campground life: the French family comes back annually with homemade mudslides, while a grandson now adds woodstove pizza, burgers, smoked ribs and mac and cheese.
The speedway tram was another fan staple, with attendees calling it a must-do way to tour campsites and soak in the race-weekend atmosphere.
Cornhole has become part of that culture too; one family from Nova Scotia said they learned the game at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and took it back to Canada.
