Virginia International Raceway (commonly known as "VIR") is a race track located in Alton, Virginia, near Danville. VIR offers six track configurations, of which two can be run simultaneously. The "Full Course" is 3.27 miles in length while the "Patriot Course" stretches for 1.1 miles entirely inside the Full Course. The "North Course" is 2.25 miles long and the "South Course" covers a distance of 1.65 miles. Both consist of a portion of the "Full Course" and short connecting sections that connect to portions of the "Patriot Course" to produce the two courses that can run simultaneously. There is a second pit complex that is used only when running the "South Course". The longest configuration, "Grand East Course", is 4.2 miles long, and combines most of the "Full Course" and most of the "Patriot Course" by means of two of the short sections of connecting track used to make the "South Course" and "North Course". There is also another, seldom run, long configuration called the "Grand West Course" that uses the other two short connecting sections between the "Full Course" and the "Patriot Course." - Learn more on: Wikipedia

Paddock (North)
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Post-2017/18 Paddock Re-pave - VIR requires that everyone utilize some sort of "padding" underneath of their jack-stands, floor jacks or anything else that might leave an imprint on the asphalt. Blemishes to the asphalt or chemical spills (fluids, oils, etc) will result in fines from VIR. Check out this article on how to DIY your own jack pads and avoid the fines.
