Snag a piece of history at Richmond International Raceway

Chris Graham

RIRlogoDale Earnhardt Jr., Kevin Harvick, Carl Edwards and Kyle Busch — all NASCAR superstars, all former NASCAR XFINITY Series champions. It truly is the series where names are made, and this September Richmond International Raceway ticketholders will have the chance to meet some of its stars at RIR’s NASCAR XFINITY Series autograph session.

With a lineup that includes 2014 NASCAR XFINITY Series champion Chase Elliott, Daytona International Speedway winner Ryan Reed, Richard Childress Racing rising star Ty Dillon and many more, it’s a chance to grab a piece of tomorrow’s history, today.

Down to the nitty gritty: The autograph session will be held at 2 p.m. in RIR’s Classic Amphitheater, located behind Turn 1. A wristband is required for admittance and will be available for pickup at the Virginia529 display on the Midway beginning at 10 a.m. and will be distributed while supplies last. You must have a Virginia529 College Savings 250 race ticket to receive a wristband.

Don’t miss this chance to meet NASCAR’s future stars now so you can say you “knew them when.”

Drivers Expected to Participate*:
Chase Elliott
Ryan Reed
Ty Dillon
Daniel Suarez
Ryan Blaney
Regan Smith

You can make your race day a weekend experience too. Come back Saturday night for the “Last Race to Make the Chase,” the 2015 Federated Auto Parts 400. Drivers hoping to race their way into the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup will be putting it all on the line for that all important win that locks them into NASCAR playoffs.

*Driver participation and number of autographs is subject to change and without notice. Neither NASCAR nor any of its affiliates are sponsors of this promotion.
