NASCAR arrives in the capital of Virginia for an Easter Sunday night race and the first of two consecutive short-track races in the Old Dominion.
Historically, racing on Easter has been relatively rare for NASCAR, though the Cup Series scheduled races at Bristol Motor Speedway – on the dirt – on the night of the holiday in 2022 and 2023. This year, Richmond Raceway gets the Easter race as well as a second night race – its mid-August race will also be held on Sunday night.
This week’s Richmond race also marks the second true short-track race of the season, following a successful race at Bristol two weekends ago. Martinsville Speedway, also in Virginia, hosts a short-track race next weekend.
Who will take the checkered flag on Easter? Here’s all the information you need to get ready for the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway:
The Toyota Owners 400 starts at 7 p.m. ET at Richmond Raceway.
Fox is broadcasting the Toyota Owners 400 and has a pre-race show beginning at 6 p.m. ET. Fox Sports 1 (FS1) has an earlier pre-race show at 5:30 p.m. ET.
The Toyota Owners 400 can be live streamed on the FoxSports website and on the FoxSports app.
The Toyota Owners 400 is 400 laps around the 0.75-mile oval for a total of 300 miles. The race will feature three segments (laps per stage) — Stage 1: 70 laps; Stage 2: 160 laps; Stage 3: 170 laps.
Chris Buescher led 88 of 400 laps, including the final seven, before edging Denny Hamlin by 0.549 seconds on July 30, 2023, for the first of his three wins last season.
And one year ago, on April 2, 2023, Kyle Larson led 93 of 400 laps, including the final 25, before pulling away from Josh Berry by 1.535 seconds, for the first of his four victories last season.
