The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series is headed to Richmond, Virginia, this weekend for the Toyota Owners 400, which will be held at the Richmond Raceway. The green flag will drop at 3:30 pm ET on Sunday (April 2) and the event will be telecast live on FS1 and MRN.
The venue will host its 133rd race in the series' history and is the first short track race of the 2023 season. Additionally, there will be a qualifying session for the race, which will begin at 10:50 am ET on Saturday (April 1) and can be enjoyed on FS1.
Sunday’s race will consist of 37 drivers who will compete for 400 laps on the 0.75-mile asphalt short track, resulting in a 300-mile race. It will feature 14 degrees of banking at turns 1-4, eight degrees on the front stretch and two degrees on the back stretch. The 0.75-mile is similar to an intermediate track but races like a short track.
Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin won last year’s Toyota Owners 400 and is the favorite to win it again on Sunday.
So far, NASCAR has seen different winners - Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Kyle Busch, William Byron, Joey Logano, and Tyler Reddick - in the first six races this season, with Byron securing two straight wins at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Phoenix Raceway.
