Richmond Raceway is gearing up for its only NASCAR event of the year, with Saturday night's Cook Out 400 Cup Series race expected to draw a larger-than-usual crowd.

Track president Lori Waran joined representatives from Henrico Police and RMC Events at a press conference to encourage race attendees to arrive early on Saturday to avoid traffic congestion.

"We were, of course, a little disappointed to go from two races to one. But we knew we were going to make this week special," Waran said. "We knew that we could put a ton of effort into making this a community hub all year long."
