Each year, VIR draws tens of thousands of spectators for racing, concerts, and events. Within the property’s rolling hills and miles of lush forest, guests can enjoy unique amenities such as the VIR Club, karting, off-road racing, skeet shooting, pistol, and rifle ranges, skidpad, dining options more. An even cooler fact is that VIR is owned by a woman: the incredible Ms. Connie Nyholm, who left her career in New York real estate to turn the weed-infested, overgrown track into today’s world-class road racing and destination facility.
