The Richmond Raceway circuit will host an intense weekend of NASCAR competitions, with the 24th round of the 26 regularly scheduled events of the season. Both categories, the Cup Series and the Craftsman Truck Series, will take part in this exciting event on Virginia’s short track.
Austin Dillon will seek to make history in this edition after having claimed the last two races at Richmond. In fact, Dillon aims to be the first driver since Bobby Allison in 1983 to win three consecutive races at this very circuit.
The last victory was for Ty Gibbs, who achieved the win last week at Iowa Speedway. Currently, Denny Hamlin leads the overall standings with over 100 points ahead of Gibbs, who has climbed to second place thanks to his recent victory. Austin Cindric finds himself in a delicate situation at 16th position, only 29 points above Ryan Preece, who is fighting to enter the Chase.
