NASCAR 2022 at Richmond: Full weekend schedule for the Richmond Raceway

NASCAR is all set to head to the short 0.75-mile Richmond Raceway in Virginia after a thriller of a race at the Circuit of the Americas last weekend.

The track, with its 14° banking and D-shaped layout, first opened in 1946 and has hosted several races since.

Coming off of a road course weekend, expect the drivers to be returning to their roots in short-track racing. A little nudging and bumping might be the name of the game for the Toyota Owners 400.
