Motorists are advised to expect heavy traffic and delays in the area on both days,
especially on Saturday before and after the race from 8:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and from 9:30
p.m. to 2:00 a.m.

Henrico Police officers will direct motorists before and after the races. Race fans and other
motorists are encouraged to check traffic updates on message boards along interstates
and other roads approaching the raceway. WRVA-1140 AM will broadcast traffic reports.

  after the race. Access to businesses along Carolina Avenue will be maintained from
  Laburnum Avenue.
• Richmond-Henrico Turnpike/Meadowbridge Road from the Henrico/Hanover county
  line to Azalea Avenue will be one-way southbound from about 1:00 p.m., until the

  continue to accommodate two-way northbound and southbound traffic at all times.
• After the race, Laburnum Avenue from Carolina Avenue to Mechanicsville Turnpike
  will be one-way eastbound. Eastbound Laburnum Avenue from Richmond-Henrico
