Some of the best short-track racing in the world occurs at the Richmond International Raceway. Twice a year, fans pour into the facility to witness classic short-track racing and to see the stars of NASCAR do what they do best. It takes many people to run the show, but Track President Dennis Bickmeier oversees the entire facility. He is just as excited as race fans for the upcoming race weekend and expects fans to have a great experience. In addition to all the great things the track has had in the past, they have added even more for this season.

I was fortunate enough to interview Dennis and he gave me some great insight on what is happening behind the scenes to prepare for race weekend at RIR. Below, you can read the interview and get stoked about the upcoming races that will be occurring at RIR. Continue reading →
