NASCAR weekend schedule: Richmond Raceway

NASCAR rolls into Richmond Raceway this weekend for the first of two straight races in Viriginia.

The Xfinity Series takes to the track Saturday afternoon for its seventh race of the season. Richmond hosted just one Xfinity race in 2021, which was won by Noah Gragson, who holds a one-point lead over AJ Allmendinger in this year’s standings. Allmendinger earned the win at Circuit of the Americas last weekend.

On Sunday, Cup drivers go to work for a 400-lap race around the ¾-mile oval. Alex Bowman won the spring race at Richmond last year, leading only the final 10 laps en route to his first of four victories in 2021. Ross Chastain enters with the hot hand this weekend, claiming the first Cup win of his career last weekend at COTA and his fourth consecutive top-three finish.
