VIRginia International Raceway’s Annual Charity Laps to Benefit Victory Junction Returns Nov. 21

RANDLEMAN, N.C. (Nov. 6, 2025) – Drivers Will Take on VIR’s Full Course to Support Children with Medical and Physical Needs – Limited Tickets Also Available for a 43-Minute Pit Stop with Richard Petty.

From 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., participants can drive their own vehicles on VIR’s world-renowned 3.27-mile full course, following a pace car for 15-20 minutes of non-competitive track time. Each session is available for just $25, with all proceeds supporting Victory Junction. Tickets for the Charity Laps event are available for purchase on-site at the event.

Returning this year, guests can also purchase tickets for an exclusive 43-Minute Pit Stop with NASCAR legend Richard Petty, held from 12 to 12:43 p.m. at VIR’s Pagoda (North Paddock). Tickets are $100, with only 143 spots available, and include a meet and greet with “The King,” a special appearance by a Victory Junction camper family, a box lunch, and a commemorative goody bag.

More than 800 drivers participate each year, eager for the rare opportunity to navigate the same legendary curves raced by professionals on one of America’s most celebrated road courses. Tickets for Charity Laps are available at the gate only; no advance purchase is required.
