NASCAR's short track season is here.
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA - AUGUST 14: Kyle Larson, driver of the #5 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet, William Byron, driver of the #24 Liberty University Chevrolet, and Denny Hamlin, driver of the #11 FedEx Freight Toyota, race during the NASCAR Cup Series Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond Raceway on August 14, 2022 in Richmond, Virginia. Sunday’s race at Richmond is the first short track race of the season and the first of three consecutive races at short tracks.
All three tracks are very different from each other and Richmond hasn’t raced like a typical short track for quite some time. Cautions are in short supply and the spring race a year ago turned into a race of tire strategy. Six of the last seven races at Richmond have included just five caution flags and the other one had just three cautions. When you consider that two of those cautions are pre-planned for the ends of the first two stages, that means we can count on about three natural cautions to happen on Sunday.
The 400-lap race last spring had five cautions and featured green-flag runs of 151 laps to start the second stage and 137 laps to end the race after a three-car crash on the backstretch. With the significant tire fall-off at the track and the multiple grooves in the corners, Denny Hamlin passed William Byron with six laps to go to get the win. Hamlin worked his way through the field after a late pit stop and used his fresher tires to make up time and pass Byron for the lead.on Sunday.
