The NASCAR Cup Series returns to short-track racing this weekend under the lights at Richmond Raceway on Saturday (7:30 p.m. ET, USA Network, HBO Max, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, NBC Sports App).
Two races are left to decide the 16 drivers who will compete for the Bill France Cup. Chris Buescher, who sits 34 points above the playoff elimination line, is a previous winner at Richmond and will look to cement himself into the postseason conversation. Six-time Richmond winner Kyle Busch is 102 points behind Buescher and will hope to tap into his short-track magic to vault into the playoffs.
Richard Childress Racing’s Austin Dillon is the defending winner at Richmond and enters in a must-win scenario to make the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs.
Xfinity Series full-timer Jesse Love is additionally entered in the event as pilot of the No. 33 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet. Corey Heim will also make a start, with the Truck Series full-timer racing in the No. 67 23XI Racing Toyota.
