Welcome to Richmond International Raceway!
Dear Guests,
Welcome to Richmond International Raceway! Race weekend is right around the
corner, and we’re excited you will be joining us!
We pride ourselves on providing memories that
last a lifetime, and what better way to do that
than spending time with friends at one of the most
historic tracks in NASCAR. RIR is at the heart of what
this sport is all about: short track racing “under the
lights,” among the sport’s best. The track holds a
rich history in the hearts of fans, and we’re excited
that you chose to be a part of it.
We’re happy to welcome new series sponsor, XFINITY, to RIR for the first time
with intense battles between young up-and-comers and battle-tested veterans
that will surely make sparks fly. The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race is sure to
showcase intense side-by-side action, as drivers compete for a win sticker to
move one step closer to getting on the grid and competing for the 2015 NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series Championship.
If there’s anything we can do to serve you, please don’t hesitate to ask one
of our guest service representatives for assistance. As always, we welcome
feedback from our fans upon their visit, so please give us a call at 804-2287500 or shoot us an email at [email protected]
Thank you for choosing Richmond International Raceway, and we hope you enjoy
your weekend with us!
