Chevy Racing 400

NASCAR’s Chevy Racing 400 is run on the Richmond International Speedway in, you guessed it, Richmond, Virginia. The track is built on the site where dirt races were held in the 1940s.

The oval track has fourteen degrees in turns and is .75 miles in race distance. With the ability to hold races at night, the Richmond International Raceway is a crowd favorite. While coming to see the race, many NASCAR fans also enjoy visiting historic Richmond and its many landmarks and parks.
