New Hampshire Motor Speedway made it big with a Guinness Book World Record for the World's Largest Instant Ticket on Thursday evening.  The N.H. Lottery unveiled the gigantic instant ticket during the FanFest leading up to this weekend's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series SYLVANIA 300. The enormous scratch ticket measured a whopping 36-feet and 2-inches-tall by 18-feet and 8 inches-wide and was officially measured by Philip Robertson of the Guinness Book of World Records.  It beat the previous record held in Australia.

Norman Blanchette of South Hampton, Mass. was chosen by NHMS and the N.H. Lottery to scratch off the life size ticket. Blanchette won a VIP experience to the 2012 LENOX Industrial Tools 301 July NASCAR weekend. The ultimate fan experience includes a helicopter ride to the race, two suite seats and a visit to Victory Lane after the race.

NHMS will again take center stage on Sunday afternoon.  The SYLVANIA 300 goes green at 2 p.m. on September 25 and will serve as the second race in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Chase.
