Enhancing its heavy presence during the April 26-28 NASCAR weekend at Richmond International Raceway, Virginia 529 College Savings Plan is adding the NASCAR Nationwide Series race entitlement to its catalog. The Friday, April 27, NASCAR Nationwide Series race is officially titled the Virginia 529 College Savings 250.

Already recognizable at Richmond International Raceway, Virginia 529 College Savings Plan is in its fourth year of partnership with RIR, where it has held entitlement rights of the September NASCAR Nationwide Series race.

Throughout its partnership with Richmond International Raceway, Virginia 529 College Savings Plan has increased its visibility at RIR with several additions:  Official College Savings Plan of RIR, Family Sections presented by Virginia 529 and the recently announced Virginia 529 Kids Zone powered by the Science Museum of Virginia.

“Virginia 529 is pleased to announce that we have extended our relationship with Richmond International Raceway to include sponsorship of the April 27th Virginia 529 College Savings 250,” said Mary Morris, CEO of the Virginia 529 College Savings Plan.  “We are also proud to sponsor the Virginia 529 Kids Zone, a new interactive area powered by the Science Museum of Virginia, which will be featured in the midway during both the April and September races.  By adding the title sponsorship of the NASCAR Nationwide Series race this spring, we will further our goal of increasing awareness of the four tax-advantaged college savings programs Virginia 529 offers to Virginians and families across the country.”

“Richmond International Raceway and Virginia 529 continue to elevate their relationship,” said RIR President Dennis Bickmeier. “Their enhanced commitment to RIR through race entitlements, the new Kids Zone and our family sections is a great example of a valuable two-way partnership between two Virginia-based companies. We look forward to having thousands of families out here for next weekend’s Virginia 529 College Savings 250.”
