The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Toyota Owners 400 is finally done and dusted. The seventh race of the season started at 3:30 pm ET on Sunday (April 2) and lasted for three hours, 17 minutes, and 37 seconds. It took place at the Richmond Raceway, with a total of 37 entries.
Driving the #5 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for Hendrick Motorsports, Kyle Larson clinched his first win of the season. With the benefit of a fast final pit stop, Larson surged past the leaders and then held off the field in the final 25 laps to take the checkered flag.
The 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion, who led for 93 laps, showed the strength of his #5 Chevrolet over the closing miles. He crossed the finish line 1.535 seconds ahead of his teammate Josh Berry to win the first short-track event of the season. The win marked his 20th NASCAR Cup Series career victory.
Meanwhile, Josh Berry, who was driving the #9 Chevrolet in place of the injured Chase Elliott, finished runner-up, securing his best Cup Series finish. He was followed by Ross Chastain, Christopher Bell, and Kevin Harvick in the top five.
