Stenhouse Jr. top ROTY in Toyota Owners 400

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is the top rookie finisher in the Sprint Cup Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond International Raceway.

The No. 17 Ford Fusion driver started 12th and finished 16th. He was named the "Rookie of the Race" since his finish was best of the ROTY contenders in the event. Stenhouse is currently 18th in the 2013 point standings.

Austin Dillon should finish +/- 20th

In four starts at Richmond Raceway, Austin Dillon has finished either 20th or 21st four times.

Dillon finished 20th in last spring’s Toyota Owners 400 and was 21st in the fall Federated Auto Parts 400. Combined with a 20th and 13th in 2016, that means Dillon has three top-20s in his last four attempts and there is every likelihood that is about where he will finish this week.

Ross Chastain should get a top-30 at RR

Ross Chastain should be able to finish in the top 30 at Richmond Raceway, if his two previous short, flat track starts are an indication.

Chastain has shown consistency in his short, flat track starts. He was 27th after starting 36th at Ingenuity Sun Media Raceway (Phoenix) and 29th from 33rd at Martinsville Speedway.

Chase Elliott: 3 consec. Top-10s on type

Chase Elliott enters the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway with three consecutive top-10s on short, flat tracks.

Elliott finished second and third in his last two Ingenuity Sun Media Raceway (Phoenix) races and was ninth at Martinsville Speedway. His last attempt at Richmond Raceway netted a 10th-place finish, but that is his only top-10 on this track. Given the bad luck he has experienced lately, he is a risky proposition this week.

Daniel Suarez solid on short, flat tracks

Daniel Suarez has been solid on short, flat tracks during his first two seasons of Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series competition, with five top-10s in 10 starts.

In addition to his five top-10 finishes on minimally-banked courses one-mile or less in length, Suarez has two more top-15s and two 18th-place finishes. That means he has finished in the back half of the pack only once and the downside to starting him is manageable.

Wallace notably fast in RR Happy Hour

Darrell Wallace Jr. was notably fast in final practice for the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway. His top speed of 119.952 mph was second on the speed chart.

Wallace is jacked up following his strong Bristol Motor Speedway run last week and determined to show he is capable of scoring top-10s in the right car. Mental attitude is an extremely important key to success on short tracks.

Kyle Larson wins Richmond Happy Hour

Kyle Larson posted the fastest single lap in Happy Hour for the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway with a speed of 120.315 mph.

Larson has been fast here in the past, but his best runs came in the fall. After finishing second to Kyle Busch last week at Bristol Motor Speedway, he is highly motivated to win this week’s pole and dominate the Toyota Owners 400.

Kevin Harvick quickest in Richmond P1

Noah Gragson (No. 18 Switch Toyota) had the best 10-lap consecutive average speed in the XFINITY Series final practice for the ToyotaCare 250.

The average speed of 118.254 mph was best of the 27 cars that ran at least 10 consecutive laps on the track for this final practice session. No. 00 Cole Custer, No. 20 Christopher Bell, No. 42 John Hunter Nemechek and No. 22 Austin Cindric make up the rest of the top-five on this list.

John Hunter Nemechek (No. 42 Fire Alarm Services Inc. Chevrolet) tops the speed chart in the Final Practice session for the XFINITY Series ToyotaCare 250 at Richmond (VA) Raceway.

He ran a fast lap of 119.090 mph. No. 7 Justin Allgaier, No. 18 Noah Gragson, No. 20 Christopher Bell and No. 00 Cole Custer round out the top-five of the 37 cars out on the track. The No. 28 Ford, driven by Tony Mrakovich, was the slowest in the final practice session.

Kyle Larson 2nd-fast in Richmond P1

Kyle Larson posted the second fastest time in the first practice session for the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway with a speed of 121.076 mph.

Apr 20 - 12:12 PM
Chase Elliott fastest in Richmond practice 1

Chase Elliott posted the fastest single lap in the first practice session for the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway with a speed of 121.327 mph.

Elliott is coming off a tough weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway. He has only one top-10 on this track, however, and needs a good long-run setup to challenge for a victory. Wait until the second practice is in the books before making any decisions.
