LOUDON, N.H. (AP) – New Hampshire International Speedway was repaved again this week, well in advance of the Winston Cup race set for July 20.

Track management was severely criticized after last July’s race because turns 3 and 4 proved extremely slick. The turns were resurfaced in April 2002 and had to be redone in June, only three weeks before the race.

Typically, it takes at least four weeks to cure a new surface.

Track owner Bob Bahre said he had all four turns resurfaced this time.

“I think it’s going to work out well,” he said.

Bahre ordered the resurfacing even though the second Cup race at the track last September was contested without complaint.

NASCAR’s Busch series will provide the first test of the new surface, racing here July 19.
