Richmond Raceway and International Speedway Corporation held a groundbreaking ceremony for Richmond Raceway Reimagined, a $30 million infield redevelopment project.

The new infield will offer a variety of enhanced amenities for fans, teams, sponsors and other stakeholders to the iconic Richmond infield. Fan access is the focus of the Reimagined project, which will showcase new Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series garages with a fan-viewing walkway.

The official groundbreaking ceremony was held on the front stretch at the edge of the infield near turn one.

The new modernized infield will also include fan viewing of the inspection stations, new interactive fan engagement areas, an 80-person club experience with rooftop access that will overlook victory lane and two new garage suites with a view into the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series garages.

Victory lane will also get a transformation and move locations in order to be more visible to race fans. The new victory lane will be near turn one and moved closer to the grandstands.

A new media center will be built to include expanded space, broadcast booths, a conference room and hospitality space. Additional amenities and enhancements include a new vehicle crossover gate on the backstretch, a relocated tram route delivering fans closer to the front door of the track, a new pedestrian tunnel, 80 new consumer RV spaces, and infield drainage improvements.

The last groundbreaking in the Richmond infield was held on Feb. 21, 1988, when the track was redeveloped into the three-fourths-mile D-shaped oval.
