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:

Tyler Reddick (45) and Kyle Busch (8) lead the field during a NASCAR Cup Series race at Richmond Raceway on July 30, 2023.
