Richmond Raceway will return to its familiar Saturday night time slot for its lone NASCAR Cup Series race in 2025, NASCAR officials announced Thursday as part of the formal release of their 2025 season.
The track will host its Cup race Aug. 16 and will again host a Craftsman Truck Series race the night before. The announcements come days after track officials learned they were losing their spring race weekend, which NASCAR is moving to Mexico City and to a mid-June date.
“Returning the NASCAR Cup Series to Saturday night at Richmond Raceway is something our fans have wanted for some time,” said Richmond Raceway President Lori Collier Waran. “It’s going to make for an incredible summer night of racing here in the commonwealth, and we’re going to make it an unforgettable experience for our fans.”
Raceway officials said that despite the loss of the spring Cup Series and Xfinity Series races, RR “will continue to be active year-round with a multitude of concerts, community events and the upcoming Nitrocross race weekend on Sept. 7-8.”
