NASCAR at Richmond summer 2023 race: Start time, TV, streaming, lineup for Cook Out 400
The NASCAR Cup Series heads to the capital of Virginia for the second time this year as the regular season winds down.
Only five races remain before the 10-race, 16-driver playoffs begin on Sept. 3, and five drivers have already clinched postseason berths — Martin Truex Jr. (three wins), William Byron (four), Denny Hamlin (two), Kyle Busch (three) and Kyle Larson (two).
Six additional drivers have scored one win this season — Christopher Bell, Ross Chastain, Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, Tyler Reddick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. — and all could clinch a playoff spot Sunday if any of the 11 drivers who have earned a victory this year take the checkered flag at Richmond Raceway.
Of the winless drivers, Kevin Harvick, who is retiring from full-time racing at the end of the season, stands the best chance to make the playoffs on points. Harvick, who has four career wins at Richmond, including a victory one year ago, sits eighth in the points standings.
Will Harvick reach Richmond's victory lane again? Here is all the information you need to know to get ready for Sunday’s race:
