The 2023 NASCAR Toyota Owners 400 will take place on Sunday (April 2) at the Richmond Raceway. The race will be telecast on FS1 and MRN at 3:30 pm ET.
Sunday’s race will be the seventh race of the 2023 NASCAR season in Richmond, Virginia, and will see the Next Gen car in action for the third time since its debut. The track features 14 degrees of banking at turn 1-4, with eight degrees on the frontstretch and two degrees on the backstretch. The track is similar to an intermediate track but races like a short track.
Richmond Raceway opened in 1946 and hosted its first Cup Series race in 1953, with Lee Petty taking the win at the inaugural event.
The 37 drivers entering this week’s Cup Series race will compete for over 400 laps on the 0.75-mile, D-shaped, asphalt short track. The Cup Series weekend will start with Saturday (April 1)’s practice session, followed by a qualifying race for a single-lap, single-car run and conclude with the Toyota Owners 400 main race on Sunday.
Richmond Raceway will host the season’s seventh event of the NASCAR Cup Series and Xfinity Series and the fifth for the Truck Series in over three days.
Denny Hamlin and Joe Gibbs Racing entered as the defending winners of the Toyota Owners 400 after securing a thrilling victory in last year's event. The #11 Toyota driver will look to win back-to-back titles on Sunday.
