VIR has been her passion, and her mission, since May, 1998. Virginia International Raceway has grown from a start-up resurrection of the historic track built in 1957 to one of the top six road courses in America according to Car &amp; Driver magazine. Connie Nyholm's passion is seen in all areas at VIR.  From her "making howdies" and engaging with the fans, to constantly looking for ways to make the race experience better, her dedication is all heart.  You can see it, and you can feel it when you step onto the grounds at VIR.  Host Amanda Busick talks with Connie about how she and her team are always looking to be better and to go forward.  She claims that her journey will always be "unfinished" as she continues to put her heart and soul into everything she does.

Season 1, Episode 14: Connie Nyholm - Owner/CEO - VIRginia International Raceway

While VIRginia International Raceway as we know it may have been resurrected with the initiative of Harvey Siegel, the actual implementation wouldn’t have been possible without the boots-on-the-ground, no BS attitude of Connie Nyholm. Finding her success in New York Real Estate, Connie grew up just a few miles away from VIR, providing an understanding of local culture, as well as connections, to establish the credibility that a couple of “outsiders” would need to make it happen. 20 years after breaking ground, Connie is now the owner of the track, but still very involved in the day-to-day operation. You can see the full story on our new Amazon Prime series but listen to her extended interview here. Dinner was served at the Oak Tree Tavern, located inside of VIRginia International Raceway. Thanks again to Continental Tire and Acura for making it all happen.
