In an interview printed in today's February 16, 2016 Daytona Beach News Journal , Daytona Speedway track president, Joie Chitwood indicated the grandstands of International Speedway Corp. tracks at Richmond and Phoenix are next in line to be torn down and rebuilt as "Richmond Rising" and "Phoenix Rising" - following in the footsteps of the project just finished at Daytona which has sold out all 101,000 seats for Sunday's Daytona 500.
"Chitwood said additional properties owned by Daytona's parent company International Speedway Corp., will get stadium makeovers. ISC owns 12 major race tracks.
He said the tracks at Richmond and Phoenix will likely be the next ISC track to get a stadium."
Considering half the seats at Richmond have already been taken down, that project is well underway.
