TRAVELING BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Richmond Raceway isn’t directly served by train or local bus lines, but with some planning, you can reach the city of Richmond by train or bus and then use a rideshare or taxi to get to the track. The most common option is to take Amtrak or Greyhound into Richmond, then finish your trip with local transport.

Taxi Richmond

If you're looking for a reliable taxi service in Richmond, Henrico Taxi is a trusted local option that serves both Richmond and Henrico County. They operate 24/7 and typically offer quick pickup times, usually within 5 to 15 minutes. Henrico Taxi uses licensed drivers, clean vehicles, and offers flat rates for certain destinations, including a ride from Richmond International Airport to Richmond Raceway, which usually costs around $30. You can book a ride by calling (804) 517-4000 or by visiting their website.

Uber and Lyft

Rideshare services work fairly well for getting to the race. The problem is after the race ends. Demand spikes, drivers are limited, and the traffic around the track makes pickup spots chaotic. Prices go up, and wait times can be long. If you're using Uber or Lyft to get back, be ready to walk a bit away from the venue to improve your chances. The main rideshare drop-off and pick-up area is located at Gate 6, accessible via 4200 Carolina Avenue.
