Richmond International Raceway

Racing actually began in Richmond in 1946, when Ted Horn drove a Champ Car to victory over a .5-mile dirt track at Strawberry Hill Speedway.

NASCAR was founded in 1948, and five years later the sanctioning body staged a race in its Grand National Division at Atlantic Rural Exposition Fairgrounds on April 19, 1953.

Since that first race in Richmond in 1953, the track has undergone three name changes, four configuration changes and one surface change, from dirt to asphalt.

Lights were also added to the facility in 1991. RIR is the only track to hold all of its major events under the lights.

Richmond's unique, .75-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.

The track's fall date is now the final race leading up to the Chase.

Hey, I’m numbah TREE!

[saganite]

As long as Vader doesn’t win I’ll be happy! Wouldn’t mind seeing JG get into Vader (JJ) and take them both out! LOL. I bet Hendricks would be so pleased. Smoke needs to start smokin’. Newman has more wins than he does this year!

After missing the first 5 races I am next to last, but still having fun!

We built a go cart when we were like 24 or 25 we lived next door to a little league field and would hall ass in the out field sometimes
