If only fans could’ve predicted how the NASCAR season would unfold in the spring.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The NASCAR Cup Series returns to Richmond Raceway for a second time this regular season at 3 pm on Sunday \u2014 and a lot has changed since Denny Hamlin took the checkered flag in early April.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Since then, penalties have been levied. Wins have been revoked. A Hall of Fame driver channeled some past magic. And eight more drivers have claimed to have a race win, ballooning the number to 15 and setting up a final trio of regular-season races for the ages.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The parity in this year’s Cup Series is bordering on crazy: Somehow, Ryan Blaney, who boasts the second-most amount of points in the Cup field, is in danger of losing a spot in the 16-driver playoff. Somehow, Martin Truex Jr., with the fourth-most amount of points, is currently (and ever-so-slightly) on the outside looking in. <\/p>\n

And somehow there are still drivers who can and will win a race lingering in the field, waiting for their moments to further upend a topsy-turvy season and steal the show. Erik Jones is 14th in points but has notched eight top-10s and two top-fives. Brad Keselowski hasn’t had the best year but is only two years removed from a playoff win at Richmond. And Bubba Wallace is 19th in points but has run four-straight top-10 finishes and might’ve even had the fastest car in the field in his second-place finish at Michigan last weekend.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can watch the Federated Auto Parts 400 on USA Network and listen to it on Sirius XM NASCAR Radio. The race will be 400 laps around the speedway’s 0.75-mile track. Lap stages end on Lap 70, Lap 230 and Lap 400.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kyle Larson will start on the pole on Sunday, a critical capture considering short-track racing often prompts positional battles. The No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet driver will be joined near the front by Ross Chastain and Denny Hamlin. <\/p>\n

Ty Gibbs will run in the 14th position in the 45 car, a product of Kurt Busch being ruled out for a fourth-straight race due to a concussion. Wallace, who re-signed with 23XI Racing earlier this week, will start 11th.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Truex has won the three of the last six races at Richmond. Hamlin won the Cup race in Richmond earlier this year.<\/p>\n
