The NASCAR Cup Series returns to Richmond Raceway under the lights Saturday for the Cook Out 400. The green flag for the 400-lap race around the 0.75-mile track is expected to drop around 7:30 p.m. Stage breaks will occur at laps 70 and 230.
The Cook Out 400 marks just the second time the Cup Series has only run a single race in a season at Richmond since 1959. The last time this occurred was 2020.
Denny Hamlin and Austin Dillon won the two Richmond races last season.
