Richmond International Raceway
Richmond International Raceway hosted its first NASCAR race in 1953 as a half mile oval with Lee Petty dominating the race from the pole to the checkered flag. In 1988 the track was reconfigured to be a 3/4 mile track. Since the first race at this raceway, the track has had three name changes, five track configuration changes, one surface change (dirt to asphalt), multiple grandstand additions and the addition of lights. As a matter of fact, Richmond International Raceway, also known as the "action track" because of its exciting side by side racing, is the only track on the NASCAR circuit to hosts all of its events "under the lights".
