A three-quarter-mile D-shaped oval, short enough for constant traffic but long enough to race properly.
About Richmond Raceway
Richmond occupies useful middle ground: at three-quarters of a mile it is short enough that lapped traffic is a permanent factor, but long enough that cars can run side by side without the contact that defines the true bullrings.
It is often described as a short track with intermediate manners, and it rewards a car that can still turn late in a long green-flag run.
