Virginia Motorsports Park
Virginia Motorsports Park (VMP) is a 1/4-mile concrete dragstrip in Dinwiddie County, Virginia, just outside Petersburg. It opened in 1994 and can seat about 23,000 spectators. The track is 0.25 miles long and is owned by Tommy and Judy Franklin (they bought the facility in 2017). Address: 8018 Boydton Plank Road, North Dinwiddie, VA 23803.
VMP hosts major drag racing events, including the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series and the Virginia NHRA Nationals. It is also a PDRA member track and has hosted the PDRA World Finals since 2019. The Virginia NHRA Nationals began at VMP in 2018, paused during the COVID-19 era, returned in 2022, did not run in 2023, and then came back to the NHRA schedule in 2024. The event is planned to run again on June 20–22, 2025.
The facility also features a dirt track beside the dragstrip for tractor pulling, motocross, and other events. VMP hosts the annual Dinwiddie County Fair in October.
