Sprint Cup Race Preview: Richmond International Raceway

Previewing tonight’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond International Raceway. Only three spots in the Chase for the Sprint Cup remain, and with two likely going to Tony Stewart and Kasey Kahne, the onus is on the other eligible drivers to score a win.
Five drivers have one victory apiece and can clinch by winning on Saturday: Kyle Busch, Jeff Gordon, Marcos Ambrose, Ryan Newman, and Joey Logano. Among them, Busch has the best chance at scoring the 12th and final Chase spot; not only does he have the points advantage if none of those drivers win, he has a superhuman 4.7 average finish at Richmond with four wins and 12 top fives in 15 starts.
