The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Richmond, Virginia this weekend after the action-packed FireKeepers Casino 400.
The Federated Auto Parts 400 is the 24th NASCAR Cup Series race of the season and will be held on August 14, 2022, at Richmond Raceway. The race will kick-off at 3:00 p.m. ET and will air on USA Network and MRN.
The race will be contested over 400 laps on the 0.75-mile-long D-shaped short track. It marks the 132nd Cup race hosted by Richmond Raceway in the history of the Cup Series.
The track features 14 degrees of banking in the first four turns, with 8 degrees on the front stretch and 2 degrees on the backstretch.
Motorsports journalist Bob Pockrass recently took to Twitter to share a list of drivers taking part in Federated Auto Parts 400.
36 drivers will take on the green flag, and only one driver has changed on this weekend’s docket: #77 Spire Motorsports’ Landon Cassill.
Meanwhile, #16 Kaulig Racing’s Noah Gragson, #15 Rick Ware Racing’s J.J Yeley, and #78 Live Fast Motorsports’ BJ McLeod will continue at Richmond following Michigan International Speedway.
Joe Gibbs Racing driver Martin Truex Jr. won last year’s Federated Auto Parts 400 and finished with a total time of 3 hours, 3 minutes, and 6 seconds. He will be looking to defend his crown.
