After two weeks without NASCAR national series racing, we get moving at Richmond Raceway this weekend!
The most recent trip to Richmond saw the hometown kid win his 53rd career victory. Denny Hamlin’s win was his second at his home track since the introduction of the Next Gen car in 2022. But this time, we will see a first in points paying NASCAR competition. NASCAR has both the Prime and Option tire available for teams this weekend.
*Just a disclaimer… Hurricane Debby is barreling on her way to the Richmond area as we speak, so these times and details are subject to change.
