Austin Dillon - Richard Childress Racing-3

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 - JD Mtrsprts w/Gary Keller-4-NXS

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 - Hendrick Motorsports-9

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 - Joe Gibbs Racing-19

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.

Darrell Wallace Jr. - Richard Petty Motorsports-43

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.
Apr 20 - 1:39 PM
Kyle Larson - Chip Ganassi Racing-42

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.
Apr 20 - 1:36 PM
Kevin Harvick - Stewart-Haas Racing-4

Kevin Harvick posted the quickest 10-lap average in the first practice session for the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway with a speed of 119.652 mph.

Harvick has five top-five finishes in his last seven Richmond starts. All but one of his last eight starts have come from the first three rows.

Noah Gragson - Joe Gibbs Racing-18-NXS

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.
Apr 20 - 12:19 PM
John Hunter Nemechek - Chip Ganassi Racing-42-NXS

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.
Apr 20 - 12:16 PM
Kyle Larson - Chip Ganassi Racing-42

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.

Larson won last fall’s Federated Auto Parts 400 and he finished second in the 2016 fall race. Larson started from the first position in spring 2014 when that race was set by the rule book; he finished only 17th.
Apr 20 - 12:12 PM
Chase Elliott - Hendrick Motorsports-9

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.
Apr 20 - 12:08 PM
Christopher Bell - Joe Gibbs Racing-20-NXS

Christopher Bell (No. 20 Rheem Toyota) led the first practice session for the XFINITY Series ToyotaCare 250 at Richmond (VA) Raceway.

A lap of 121.902 mph was the best of the 39 cars completing laps in this session. No. 00 Cole Custer, No. 18 Noah Gragson, No. 22 Austin Cindric and No. 11 Ryan Truex made up the rest of the top-five on the speed chart. The No. 74 Dodge, driven by Mike Harmon, was the slowest. Bell also had a 10-lap average speed of 120.622 mph. This was the best of the 16 cars running at least 10 consecutive laps in this session.
Apr 20 - 11:54 AM
Landon Cassill - StarCom Racing-00

Landon Cassill has finished 21st and 20th in his last two starts with StarCom Racing.

At the end of 2017, Cassill gave Front Row Motorsports 10 consecutive finishes in the 20s. That suggests his pair of 20-something results with StarCom means that he is getting all there is out of the car. Bear in mind, however, that both Texas Motor Speedway and Bristol Motor Speedway featured heavy attrition.

Chase Elliott - Hendrick Motorsports-9

In five starts at Richmond Raceway, Chase Elliott has never failed to complete the full race distance.

Completing 2,011 laps of competition in five races, Elliott has managed to stay in contention despite suffering crash damage in fall 2016. Until last fall, however, he failed to score a single top-10 and had only one other top-15.
Apr 20 - 9:47 AM
Paul Menard - Wood Brothers Racing-21

Paul Menard has earned one top-10 at Richmond Raceway, but it was a good one; he finished fifth in the 2013 Federated Auto Parts 400.

This is Menard's worst track in regard to career-average finishes with a 24.6 in 22 starts. With his new Wood Brothers ride, he should easily be able to beat that average, but fantasy owners probably want to wait and see how he performs before making a commitment.
