Richmond, KY (March 14, 2015) Richmond Raceway co-promoters Larry, Chad, and Sarah Yantz are set to kick off “The Dawn of a New Era” of racing at the historic Richmond, KY track that will begin its 50th season of operation in 2015 and its first season under the promotional helm of the Yantz family.  The new promotional trio would like to announce the tire rules for the Pro Late Model division that will compete at the 3/10 mile clay oval known as “The Beast of the East” for the 2015 season.
