After an exciting race at Tennessee, NASCAR heads to Richmond Raceway Saturday night (6 p.m. CT, FOX) to its third short-track race the Cup Series season.
Richmond, the website of this Toyota Owners 400, is 0.25 miles longer than Bristol and Martinsville, but NASCAR still categorizes it as a short track. It’s really most similar to New Hampshire and Phoenix’s 1-mile apartment monitor in banking and it.
Kyle Busch, who won Sunday’s race at Bristol as the race-favorite, once again gets the shortest chances (2/1) on the board at the Westgate SuperBook as he seeks his seventh win in Richmond. Busch has finished in the top 10 in every race this season and owns a series-best 6.9 average end at the Richmond. Busch has finished first and second at New Hampshire and won and directed a race-high 177 laps at the similar design at March of Phoenix.
