NASCAR 2023: Full weekend schedule for Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway

The 2023 NASCAR Cook Out 400 is all set to take place on Sunday (July 30) at the Richmond Raceway. Fans can watch the race on USA, NBC Sports, and MRN at 3 pm ET.

Sunday’s race will be the 22nd race of the 2023 NASCAR season in Richmond, Virginia. The venue will host the Next Gen car in action for the fourth time since its debut.

The Richmond Raceway features 14 degrees of banking in turns 1-4, with 8 degrees on the front stretch and 2 degrees on the back stretch. The track opened in 1946 but hosted its first race in 1953, where Lee Petty took the checkered flag at the inaugural event.

The 37 NASCAR drivers entering this week’s Cup Series race will compete for over 400 laps at the 0.75-mile D-shaped short track. The Cup Series weekend will start with Saturday’s (July 29) practice session. It will be followed by a qualifying race on the same day at 1:20 pm ET and conclude with the Cook Out 400 main race on Sunday.

The Richmond Raceway will host the season’s 22nd event of the Cup Series, 20th for the Xfinity Series, and 16th for the Truck Series in over three days.

Kevin Harvick and Stewart-Haas Racing enter as the defending winners of the Cook Out 400, previously known as Federated Auto Parts 400.
