Virginia race fans have it all. They really do.

Two NASCAR sanctioned tracks plus one so close to the border it qualifies as a third. Martinsville, Richmond and Bristol…

With these you have access to the major NASCAR series Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World…

Add in the road coarse at Virginia International Raceway and you get even more with American Le Mans, SCCA, AMA… Sports cars, open wheel, motorcycles…

Virginia has smaller tracks all over the state for weekend racing of every sort. From South Boston to Motor Mile to Langley to Southside to Shenandoah… All sorts of locals and series run all summer long.

Drag strips and dirt tracks and race, race, race…

Everyone tends to focus on the big ones. NASCAR is on at Martinsville this weekend (April 5-6-7) followed in a few weeks by the visit to Richmond (April 25-26-27). Martinsville Speedway just announced that VA Tech Coach Frank Beamer will be in the seat with the pace car for the STP Gas Booster 500. Richmond is gearing up fast for their weekend, as well. They have hosted test sessions with the new Gen-6 car and, with the Virginia Tourism Corporation, set in place a race themed “LOVEwork” at the main entrance.

Virginia is for Lovers, after all… And Virginia fans LOVE their racing! Look for the “LOVE” crafted from Goodyear tires, helmets, checkered flags and retired racing sheet metal. It should be easy to spot as you head in for race weekend at RIR.

We know you love to watch the “Big Guns” run. However, why skip out on the smaller tracks that offer great racing from the “local” folks? It is real racing with real drama.

All we’re saying is go be a “race” fan. NASCAR at Martinsville and Richmond is always a big show. This season the drama is coming from everywhere! The new car, rivalries, tension… It all adds up to an “edge of the seat” ticket.

Martinsville is on now! Richmond is a few weeks away so make the plans.

Between the big weekends, make some time and visit a smaller track. Show how much “LOVE” there is for racing and go support them.

Yes, Virginia has everything for racing. Fans, go get some!
