When the NASCAR circuit invades the Richmond International Raceway, it's easily the biggest sporting event/extravaganza in Richmond.

The best place I've ever seen a NASCAR race. The track is fairly small (3/4 of a mile) so you can see almost the entire track from almost every seat. The crowd is huge (112,000) and they just added new luxury seats to the front straight. It's close to a bunch of major highways, but the traffic can still be bad. The food and drink is good and there is plenty to do on race day. Highly recommended.
- Pros: Great sight lines, good food and beer stands
- Cons: None
