The Richmond Raceway is all set to host NASCAR's Toyota Owners 400 this weekend. The seventh race of the season kicks off at 3:30 PM ET on Sunday, April 2, in a 300-mile action-packed contest.
Located in Richmond, Virginia, the Richmond Raceway boasts a D-shaped asphalt short track with a 0.75-mile-long total track length. The track opened in 1946 and features 14 degrees of banking at turns 1-4, eight degrees on the frontstretch and two degrees on the backstretch.
Apart from making one of the two appearances on the NASCAR Cup Series calendar this season, the 0.75-mile track will also host the Xfinity Series and Craftsman Truck Series races this weekend.
The Toyota Owners 400 will feature 37 drivers. Just like the other NASCAR races, practice sessions will open this racing weekend on Saturday, April 1, at 10:05 am ET on FS1.
This will be followed by a qualifying session on Saturday at 10:50 am ET, which will determine the starting positions for Sunday's race.
