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.
