Richmond International Raceway hosts the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and Nationwide Series. The track sold out 33 consecutive NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races. Richmond International Raceway is one of a few race tracks to host all of its events under the lights. Richmond International Raceway (RIR) is a 3/4-mile (1.2 km), D-shaped, asphalt race track located just outside Richmond, Virginia in Henrico County. The Richmond International Raceway sellout streak ended in September 2008 partially due to the economic downturn, though the major factor in ticket sales was the impact of Tropical Storm Hanna. Richmond has hosted the final "regular-season" race, leading up to the start of the Chase for the Sprint Cup, each year since the Chase concept was introduced in 2004. The race is often referred to as "One Last Race to Make The Chase." "America's Premier Short Track" formerly hosted a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race, an IZOD IndyCar Series race, and two United States Auto Club sprint car races.
Richmond International Raceway is one of the top NASCAR® tracks in the United States. Join over 94,000 race fans at the next Sprint Cup event and experience the excitement for yourself!
