NASCAR Cup Richmond

NASCAR 2023 Richmond schedule, entry list, and how to watch

Richmond Raceway hosts the first points-paying short track race of the year for the NASCAR Cup Series.

Tyler Reddick earned Toyota its first win of the year at COTA, surviving multiple overtime restarts to win the race. It was his fourth career win and his third at a road course.

Jenson Button was best amongst the international stars. Fellow F1 World Champion was Kimi Raikkonen 29th after getting collected in a late-race incident. 

This week, an Appeals Panel amended the penalties issued to Hendrick Motorsports over the modification of the hood louvers on all four HMS cars. Although the crew chief suspensions and fines totaling $400,000 remain, the large points penalties have all been rescinded.

This puts Alex Bowman back to the top of the standings, 15 points ahead of Ross Chastain.

NASCAR also issued a $50,000 fine to Daniel Suarez for running into other vehicles on pit road following the Cup race at COTA. He was frustrated with both Bowman and his teammate Chastain.
