Track President Doug Fritz announced today the Chevy Rock & Roll 400 on Saturday night, September 9 will mark the 30th consecutive NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series sellout at America’s Premier Short Track, a streak that has now lasted 15 years. That means all 107,097 seats will once again be filled for the final race before the Chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup.

The sellout streak started with the Pontiac Excitement 400 on March 8, 1992 and has continued through each NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series race at Richmond International Raceway for the last 15 years. The track has hosted two NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series races each year since 1959. Nearly 2.5 million fans from all 50 states and dozens of foreign countries have attended NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series events at Richmond International Raceway during that time.

“We are very pleased to announce our 30th consecutive NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series sellout at Richmond International Raceway,” said Fritz. “The sellout streak, which is unrivaled in NASCAR, proves that we have the greatest, most dedicated fans in the sport.”
