RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - NASCAR will make a return to Richmond next weekend.

To kick things off, the Richmond Raceway will host “Track Laps for Charity” from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, July 26.

With a $20 donation, fans can take their car for a spin around the track.

The event is hosted by Worldwide Express, the title sponsor for the Craftsman Truck Race on Saturday, July 22.

Estes, a Richmond-based freight carrier and partner of Worldwide Express, will take the course for the first few laps in a freight truck.

Proceeds for the event will go toward UMFS, a local nonprofit agency that provides support and resources to children and families to build stronger communities throughout Virginia.
