Things to do in Virginia, United States: The Best Auto Race Tracks

July 19, 2021 Sheron Bogner

Virginia can make American history come alive. Visit Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, tour Civil War battlefields, explore the living history museum at Williamsburg… the possibilities are endless (if the kids object, break up the historical sightseeing with a visit to Busch Gardens). Arlington, site of Arlington National Cemetery, is just across the Potomac River from all the major sites in D.C. In addition to beaches and historical attractions, Virginia has plenty to offer outdoor enthusiasts. Active families will love the Blue Ridge Highlands, where hiking, canoeing and tubing are just a few of the activities offered. Couples might enjoy a romantic mountain cabin in Virginia after a day of hiking in Shenandoah National Park.

We love NASCAR and we had the opportunity to stop by this fantastic speedway. It has great views and the cars go super fast. VROOOOM is the word of the day. I highly recommend any race track in America and if you are nearby, check out Martinsville.

Virginia International Raceway

Recently chosen as one of Car and Driver Magazine’s top six road courses in the nation, VIRginia International Raceway is a multi-purpose road course offering professional and amateur auto and motorcycle racing, as well as a wide range of track events. Each year, VIR draws tens of thousands of spectators for some of the best road racing in the country. Its uphill Esses and sharp elevation changes not only make it a fan and driver favorite but have also established it as a prominent testing facility for the automotive industry. While racing is the heart of VIR, the expansive 1,300-acre property located at the Virginia-North Carolina border is so much more. America’s first true “motorsport resort,” it’s an entire vacation destination with a number of onsite hotel and lodging options. Within the property’s rolling hills and miles of lush forest, guests can enjoy unique amenities such as the exclusive Driver’s Club, karting, skeet shooting, pistol/rifle ranges, skid pad and more!

We loved the available hook ups to be able to hook our stacker up to power. The food sold at the concession was really good as well. Also we appreciated the clean bathroom. Great track and super fast. We’ll be back for sure

Awesome seats, section G row 16 seat 22, just left of the start/finish line. Let me back up, if you are planning to go make sure you make hotel reservations early the track is right off I955. Parking is free, so the houses and businesses telling you to park here for $20 or $30 unless you like to walk a mile, pass them. If you don’t have any tickets lot 7 is the lot to park to buy your ticket at the track. Take the tram after parking it drops you off close to the gates. The track is a small track, don’t forget ear plugs or some other kind of protection. No cell phone service I was able to take pictures, but not with trip advisor live, the pictures are from the race track and from me. The one photo I snapped a picture of rubber laying all around the track. I hope you enjoy if you go. See attached pictures, I hope this was helpful ????????

SO much fun at the speedway. And the spectators so nice explaining to this newbie what was going on. Be sure to buy the ear muffs. Lots of action and car crashes if you're into that.
