Seating Made Simple
Hottest Seats - Nextel and Commonwealth sections. Located along the front stretch and close to the start-finish line, these are the best seats in the house. It is best to sit in the highest row possible so you
can see the whole track. Because of the exceptional views of the track and pits, these seats will always be in high demand and carry a higher price.
Great Seats - All Veranda and Colonial sections, Dogwood sections AA - F, and Old Dominion section K. A little less expensive, these seats still offer some great views. If seeing a crash is your cup of tea, the
Colonial sections are the way to go as most crashes occur in turn 4. You will still be able to see pit road from these seats, and won't even have to turn your head to keep up with the action.
Good Seats - Dogwood Tower seats, Dogwood sections G - S, and Old Dominion sections A - J. Not the best seats in the house, the seats still give you good views of the track, though your view of pit road is
compromised. However, it is advised to sit in the higher rows of these sections.
Economy Seats - Henrico Tower and Grandstand. For those who are price-minded, these seats are for you. Fortunately, there is no such thing as a bad seat at Richmond International Raceway, but you still want to
sit in the highest row possible. The only exception to that rule is when you're in the Henrico Tower - the higher rows of the tower prevent a view of the cars as they hug the walls on the backstretch.
