Track Infos from Wiki :
Richmond Raceway (RR) is a 0.75 miles (1.21 km), D-shaped, asphalt race track located just outside Richmond, Virginia in Henrico County. It hosts the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series. Known as “America’s premier short track”, it formerly hosted a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race, an IndyCar Series race, and two USAC sprint car races. Because of Richmond Raceway’s unique “D” track shape, Richmond is no longer considered to be a true “Short Track” like the mecca of short tracks, Martinsville Speedway. Many NASCAR Drivers do not associate Richmond Raceway as a “Short Track” as they are more in line with mile tracks because of the multiple racing grooves and banking.
Richmond Raceway is one of only a few tracks to host all of its events at night. The track sold out 33 consecutive NASCAR Cup Series races. The sellout streak ended in September 2008 partially due to the economic downturn, though the major factor in ticket sales was the impact of Tropical Storm Hanna.
Richmond has hosted the final “regular-season” race, leading up to the start of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs, each year since the concept was introduced in 2004. However, it was announced late in 2017 that Richmond would be moved into the playoffs for the 2018 season.
In 2010, the Raceway introduced a state-of-the-art video scoring tower that boasts more LED square footage than any other in the motorsports industry. The cap features four high definition LED screens that measure 38-feet wide by 24-feet high. The screens broadcast live race action and pre-produced video and graphics. The stem shows running order and has the ability to rotate through the entire field.
On January 28, 2019, it was revealed on ISC’s 2018 annual report that the raceway’s track seating was reduced from 59,000 to 51,000.
