“NASCAR’s return to Richmond International Raceway twice in 2015 is exciting news for our race fans, sponsors, and the entire Greater Richmond Area,” said RIR President Dennis Bickmeier. “These races are not only action-packed sports entertainment, but also a boon for the local economy.”
This exciting news comes less than two weeks before RIR’s “One Last Race to Make The Chase” weekend, highlighted by the Federated Auto Parts 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race on Saturday, September 6. Twelve drivers are locked in to the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, but four spots remain. Who has what it takes to Get On The Grid?

We’ll get the weekend started Friday, September 5, with a full day of on-track activity, culminating with the Virginia529 College Savings 250 NASCAR Nationwide Series race. A tight points battle has Chase Elliott, Regan Smith, Ty Dillon, and Elliott Sadler locked at the top. Friday’s a great night to bring the whole family because children 12 and younger are admitted free. Advance adult tickets start at $30. Click here or call 866-455-7223 for tickets and information.
