Victory Lane

Richmond Raceway track president Lori Collier Waran joins Davey Segal (7:20) ahead of NASCAR's return to racing after the Olympic break in the commonwealth. She dives into how hospitality remains a constant in her career, even in NASCAR, and her time growing up in Richmond attending races before it all came full circle in 2022. She also explains why she didn't think she was fit for the job when NASCAR recruited her for the vacant position, how she had to figure out what the role of a track president really was, the pride she takes in being the first female track president in 76 years at Richmond, remembering the hectic first race weekend less than a month into the job and more, including how a night race weekend differs from a day one, what the future of Richmond Raceway may look like and the potential to seal the track again. Davey also previews the upcoming weekend with the Goodyear option tire after the Olympic break and Papa Segal pays homage to Alan Kulwicki.
