Go to Boston!!!!!
It's not that far of a drive and something few consider, but Boston is definitely within reach for a great food adventure. I mean, cmon, it's one of the best cities in America and has a wonderfully diverse food scene. We will give you two good choices in the North End of Boston (a charming little italian neighborhood).

Seafood Near the Track...
If you don't want to venture too far from the track, Makris is a good option. It's a favorite of Jack Roush.
Makris
It's the closest seafood place from NHMS. So if you are staying at the track swing by. Makris offers good fresh seafood favorites but they are most known for their lobster.

Sandy Point Restaurant
- ONE LAST TIME -
We are sad to hear that Sandy Point, a family owned tradition for over 50-years, will be closing after this season. The good thing is, you have one more chance to hit this gem. The Seuss racing family raves about Sandy Point and for a good reason. Their Modified racing team, with driver Andy Seuss, knows the area well. When it comes to food and racing, you can trust a Seuss.
How's a stuffed Lobster and a 28oz prime rib combo sound to you?

The Common Man
Quite possibly MD's favorite place to eat during New Hampshire Motor Speedway race weekend. The old barn building right off the Manchester Street exit in Concord, NC is a great place to dine. Rustic New England charm warms you just as much as their legendary Lobster Corn Chowder. I also love their baked Haddock, which comes with a ritz cracker crust! The white chocolate is to die for!

Tinker's Seafood
If you are in Manchester and are looking for good traditional New England Seafood, this is your choice. From real good fried clams to fresh fried haddock, Chowdah to Lobstah, this family place is a MUST. They win local awards every year and have super-friendly service. It is also a fish market.

The Egg Shell Restaurant
THIS IS YOUR BREAKFAST PLACE!
Why? It's small, simple, close, hidden and good. The Man who brought the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series to NH, Bob Bahre, eats here all the time. We've enjoyed breakfast with Radio/TV personality Pat Patterson at the Egg Shell. He is a regular when in town. Hint: Ask for the high-octane syrup.

Red Arrow Diner
Voted to be one of the best diners in America, Red arrow lives up to it's billing. It's a unique and very small building hidden in downtown Manchester, NH. The place is open 24/7 and serves breakfast around the clock. Sit at the same table as some famous people too! Adam Sandler has his own burger there. Red Arrow is a favorite of Food Network star Guy Fieri. Everything on the menu is awesome. I love to start out with their chili. The Dinamoe burger rules. Oh and try a Red Arrow favorite... America Chop Suey. Oh and their deserts are to die for. The cream pies, to eclairs to homemade twinkies... you'll love 'em.

Billy's Sports Bar
"Thursday they have a WICKED good meatloaf," says Sprint Cup Series crew member Erick MacPherson. A lot of us know Erick as "Moose" in the garage area. He's a heck of a guy and knows his food so we will listen to him. Plus, he's not a stick-figure... stick-figures aren't as trustworthy with food-picks. Looking at the menu at Billy's they have a wide assortment of typical pub-fare, sandwiches, various nachos, lamb kabobs, seafood...and yes, wicked good meatloaf!
