The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series returns to Richmond International Raceway this weekend for its final regular season race. This event marks the last chance for some drivers to sneak into the upcoming Chase with a win, or perhaps via points.
On Saturday night the Sprint Cup Series runs the Federated Auto Parts 400 but the Xfinity Series will also take to the track with practice on Thursday ahead of it’s Friday night running of the Virginia528 College Savings 250. The Camping World Truck Series is off this weekend.
