rirWhat’s better than a single scoop? A double dip! That’s what race fans in Richmond will get in 2015, as NASCAR returns to Richmond International Raceway twice next season, and it will be on our traditional dates. Fans will rise to their feet for NASCAR excitement April 24 & 25 and September 11 & 12.

What else is the same? The race entitlements:

“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 theVirginia529 College Savings 250 NASCAR Nationwide Series race.
