RIR Invites Fans Onto Track Surface Before Sprint Cup Race

Richmond Int'l Raceway is holding a "Track Takeover" ahead of Saturday night's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Toyota Owners 400, allowing fans onto the racing surface in an effort to "bring more of them" and "bring them back." Richmond has previously allowed fans onto the front stretch, but on Saturday they will be able to "walk the entire surface, take in live music, tour a NASCAR hauler and pose for pictures." Track President Dennis Bickmeier said of the turnout, "We don't know if we're going to have hundreds of fans, or thousands." AP
