They ran one race at a .625 mile configuration in 1968. Then it was .542 from 1969-88. The .75-mile Richmond that we know and love today had its first race in the fall of 1988. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
