More about Richmond Raceway
Richmond Raceway is a 0.75-mile D-shaped oval located in Richmond, Virginia, and is one of NASCAR’s most established short tracks. Known for its unique blend of short-track intensity and intermediate-style racing, the layout features moderate banking of 14 degrees in the turns and a wide racing surface that supports multiple grooves.
Often referred to as “America’s Premier Short Track,” Richmond emphasizes rhythm, braking, and throttle control, with drivers navigating heavy traffic and frequent restarts. Tire wear and long-run pace are critical factors, particularly as the racing surface evolves and grip levels change over the course of an event.
The track has built a reputation for strategic racing, where pit timing, track position, and tire management frequently determine outcomes. As a regular stop for the NASCAR Cup Series, Richmond consistently delivers competitive racing that balances patience and aggression, making it a favorite among drivers and teams alike.
