This Sunday night, Richmond Raceway will hold its second NASCAR Cup Series race of the season. Rumors suggest that this could be the last time Richmond hosts two races in the near future due to a potential schedule change in 2025. The Athletic reported that Richmond may lose one of its race dates if NASCAR secures a new venue, possibly for an international trip. Despite being a top market for NASCAR TV viewership, attendance at the Virginia short track has declined over the years. Criticisms about the racing quality and lower attendance figures have led to discussions about the future of Richmond Raceway in the NASCAR calendar. Virginia native Denny Hamlin expressed understanding of NASCAR’s decisions and hopes for a revitalization of Richmond Raceway as it once was, emphasizing the need to appeal more to fans and enhance the fan experience.
