Richmond Is Racing: It’s NASCAR Time

It is not supposed to rain today (in Richmond).

Where It Is

Richmond. The first race you race at in the Whelen Series in NASCAR 06: Total Team Control. At least on Playstation 2. It’s a short track—three quarters of a mile—and it’s D-shaped. Not sure I’ve ever watched a race there, actually. If I have it was a long time ago.

When It Is

Green flag at 3:15 PM EDT, I believe.

How to Watch

FOX

Who to Watch

Martin Truex Jr. is the favorite on Bovada at +400, with Denny Hamlin at +550, Brad Keselowski at +700, Kyle Larson at +750, Kyle Busch at +800, Joey Logano and Chase Elliott at +900 each, Kevin Harvick at +1100, and Ryan Blaney at +1400. Everybody else is at +2000 or worse.

How NASCAR Should Script It

The problem with Logano is that he’s not widely-enough accepted as a villain. The problem with feuds so far this year is that none of them involve all that good of drivers/cars. After Hamlin neglected to dump him at Bristol, Logano not returning the favor today and spinning out the hometown kid to win seems like the perfect way to get a feud going at the top.

Trucks, Xfinity

Xfinity’s off this weekend, but John Hunter Nemechek won the Truck race. Tate Fogleman was unhappy with Hailie Deegan about something:
