WELCOME, N.C. (June 16, 2023) – Race fans are encouraged to make a “pit stop” to Richard Childress Racing’s campus in Welcome, North Carolina prior to this Fall’s NASCAR race weekend at Martinsville Speedway for the race team’s 2023 RCR Fan Day celebration.
Featuring RCR’s NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series stars, a hauler parade, merchandise haulers, food trucks, shop tours and more, this full-day event is designed to give back to fans.
“We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the fans, so we are opening up our campus to show our appreciation this fall,” said Richard Childress, chairman and CEO of Richard Childress Racing. “Our team is building a fan day that is bigger, better and more interactive than anything we’ve done before, and I encourage everyone to come out and join us on October 27. RCR’s Fan Day leads into the NASCAR race weekend at Martinsville Speedway, making for a convenient stop for fans on their way to the track.”
Several race teams based out of RCR’s campus in Welcome also plan to open up their race shops as part of Fan Day, including Kaulig Racing, Big Machine Racing and Our Motorsports.
RCR drivers headlining include Austin Dillon, Kyle Busch, Sheldon Creed and Austin Hill. All four are scheduled to participate in autograph sessions. In addition, various RCR personalities will make appearances, including Childress.
The family-friendly event will also feature a kid’s zone and plenty of interactive displays, including vendors representing RCR’s robust lineup of partners. The Carolina Cowboys, the Carolina’s only professional bull riding team, will also have a display at Fan Day, which takes place just one week after the PBR Teams Series championship in Las Vegas.
Additional details regarding RCR Fan Day, including autograph session and Q&A times, will be released in the coming weeks. Fans can visit rcrracing.com’s dedicated Fan Day site for more information.
