Richmond International Raceway is one of the most historic tracks in racing and also one of the most popular among drivers, fans and the media. Year after year, Richmond International Raceway puts on the best short track show, and arguably the best racing anywhere.
Why? Richmond's unique, ¾-mile layout produces tremendous side-by-side racing, yet drivers obtain high enough speeds to give it a superspeedway feel. That rare combination still allows for the beating and banging that fans love, with the drivers' skill playing a major role in winning. In the words of NASCAR NEXTEL Cup icon Rusty Wallace, those characteristics help make racing at the track and the experience fans have while visiting, simply "perfect."
Richmond International Raceway has sold out the last 30 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series race and features some of the best racing in all of motorsports. It is also one the only race track to host all of its major events "under the lights"
If high speed, short track, night racing isn't enough to get your blood pumping, the Richmond International Raceawy also hosts the final race leading up to the start of the Chase for the NEXTEL Cup.
