LOUDON, N.H. (AP) – Bob Bahre has sold his NASCAR racetrack in Loudon, but he’s not forgetting the town.

Without fanfare, Bahre gave Loudon selectmen $450,000 this month and asked them to split it between a half dozen churches, the town library and students struggling to afford college. And he said he didn’t want them to make a big deal about where the money came from.

Bahre helped many community organizations in the 20 years he ran the New Hampshire International Speedway before selling it last fall for $340 million. Library trustees and church elders are considering how to spend the money, and Merrimack Valley High School predicts the gift will help up to 15 of their students attend college in the fall.
