That combination allows for the banging that fans love, but with the driver's skill playing a major role in winning. Richmond International Raceway is a fixture on NASCAR's and IRL's schedules. Each season Richmond International Raceway hosts two NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series races, two NASCAR Busch Series races, an IRL Indy Car Series event, a USAC Silver Crown Series event and a USAC National Sprint Car Series race.
