Richmond Raceway Weekend Preview Martin Truex Jr. took over the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series championship lead Sunday after the Las Vegas Playoff opener - and holds a slim two-point edge over the regular season champion Kyle Busch entering Saturday night's Federated Auto Parts 400 (at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) at Richmond (Va.) Raceway. It marks the first time the 0.75-mile Richmond oval has served as a Playoff race - it has been the regular season finale previously. That may make the characteristic of the race this week different with no more guarding regular season points positions and a Playoff-advancing win on the line. No one in the field has been better at Richmond than Kyle Busch, whose five wins place him seventh all-time on the winningest driver list there - tops among active drivers and secondarily only to a list of six NASCAR Hall of Famers. The key, however, is that all of Busch's victories have come in the Spring Richmond race - including just this May. And a Fall trophy has never been so crucial to his title hopes. "I think wins are always important and I think the biggest thing now is that each (Playoff) round kind of has its own wild-card race, if you look at it - you've got the "roval" (Charlotte Road Course) in the first round, Talladega in the second round and then Martinsville kind of turned into a crazy race in the third round," explained Busch, who drives the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. "It's all just going to be about trying to maintain and have a good day. If you can get top-five finishes, great, that's going to propel us through with the amount of points we have and the point cushion we have, but wins are the ultimate. If you can get those, then you're automatically in and that's what we all strive for." Busch, who finished seventh at Las Vegas, recognizes that his fiercest competition this weekend may well come from his own Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin, a three-time Richmond winner whose 1,659 laps out front is most among anyone in the field this weekend. Hamlin had a rough first Playoff outing at Las Vegas (finishing 32nd after an incident) and is ranked 16th - last - in the rankings headed to what he considers his hometown track, Richmond Raceway. Hamlin is currently 20-points behind 12th place Alex Bowman with only Saturday night's race and next week's race at Charlotte to determine which 12 drivers advance on in the Cup championship. Hamlin last won this Fall race in 2016. And it's been a varying cast of trophy winners in the last decade at Richmond with last week's Vegas winner Brad Keselowski taking the Fall Richmond win in 2014, Matt Kenseth in 2015, then Hamlin in 2016 and Playoff contender Kyle Larson last year. In fact, nine of the 16 Playoff drivers have won previously at Richmond, also including Kurt Busch, Jimmie Johnson, Clint Bowyer, Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano, Kyle Larson, Keselowski, Kyle Busch, and Hamlin. Truex, has not won at Richmond previously. Every time the series arrives in Richmond, however, Hamlin's name comes up as the driver to beat and with so much on the line this season, it's reasonable to expect big things from him. "I think a lot of it comes from Denny (Hamlin), being that it's his home track," Busch acknowledged. "I've been good there in Hendrick and JGR cars. But Denny and I really feed off each other an awful lot at Richmond. We use each other a ton there, just to be sure we can beat the rest of the competition, of course. "We do like similar setups there, unlike some other places we run. Richmond is one of those places where we both know what it takes to get around and we're both similar to one another in that we both run well."

Got a bit closer the other day, definitely a MD-11 (More Death 2) vs the older Death cruiser (DC-10).

I wont defend Trump if he is proven guilty. If he is in fact guilty of what he is accused of (illegally undermining the election by colluding with a foreign govt) then I think he should be taken right out of the court room and shot for treason. But neither you or anybody else has presented a case to explain how Trump and Russia changed the outcome of the election. facebook ads and spreading dirt on hillary isnt it bro, thats politics and everybody does that.

My childhood...besides Sher-wood sticks and CCM Ultra Tack skates

Trump won’t release his taxes not because there’s nothing illegal, but because the laymen won’t understand what’s in there and cnn will have a hay day twisting it around. I don’t blame him

Salmanilla is when something is coming out you ass at an uncontrollable rate . Sal Rosenburg is when a boot is going up your ass at an uncontrollable rate .

Both sides are control freaks, what they want to control may differ , but they are both control freaks.

you dont think in the past 2 years Mueller has gotten his returns via a subpoena?? I mean seriously, they might not have been made public..but im sure that was on the top 10 list of things to acquire by the Mueller team..like Manafort's returns were...

how could you possibly know either way unless you see them?

Why would a good qualified person want to run for that job? It will ruin your life and possible the lives of the people around you.

Ah....yup. A little ford 5.0 will handle every bit as much power as the massive Chevy pushrod abortion. Maybe more

not really it was unique but it was a typical 80's POS

When the Dems we're running the show they did not pass any budgets just continuing resolutions without accountability.

A handful? I'd say capitalism and imperialism are two pretty big issues. It's like this - I like pussy but all you have available are hairy man assholes. And you're like 'whats the problem? It's a hole, isn't it? The Republicans hairy asshole has teeth!' And I'm like 'but I like pussy!'

You give up supporting most of what you believe in because there’s a handful of issues you disagree with......and the reality is you’re doing absolutely nothing to influence change by supporting the Steins of the world. What have you done since the last election? Nothing 👍. The reality is you’ve bitched and complained about almost everything Dumper and the Repugs have done......but when your vote mattered.....you balked 👍

Did you buy one, or at least halves?

You realize that like maybe 4-5% of the country can afford competent legal defense? And that the rest of us, even if we are found innocent, are usually financially ruined? Not to mention the emotional stress, loss of work, and mental anguish being tried for something you didn't do. Jury duty. Pfft. Gtfoh with that shit.

Everyone here knows a guy like Trump. He has all the latest toys, oversized house, vacations everywhere. He boasts every chance he gets about how big his truck is, how much it costs and it’s the best there is. Then it all folds up when the bank forecloses on the House, the repo man pulls the big boat out of the lake and his biggest and best truck is driven off. Trumps the same it’s just his numbers are higher and it’s in Rubles instead of US dollars.

there should be a clinic in every town in america- vaccum up unwanted fetus so the taxpayers not on the hook for them

they are already paid well once you add the tax free allowances to it but I'll support raises for them when 4x that cost is cut from another program.

Beta fucking cuck! ”MY WOMAN IS DOMINATE OVER ME!!!! I’m proud to be a cuck!!!!”

I think MC justs fucks with everyone with these posts. He wants us to think that he is moronically stupid. Nice job MC!!

In what bizzaro world do you live in ? In everyone else's world it's innocent until proven guilty.

There's only one party

Something tells me @Mainecat just shit his pants again.

He should be arrested and charged. if any of you guys were interviewing candidates for a upper management position in your company and the one finalist you were going to offer the job to at dinner and you find out he got arrested for rape a few days before would you hire him or pass him over? Be honest a simple yes or no.

Well ya know what his answer will be in the " favorite childhood restaurant " thread will be.

See that's your problem. You cant understand the simple fact that because someone voted against swillary and supports some of the things Trump does dosnt make them a Trumper. But that's perfectly fine. As it means democrats still havnt figured out why they lost the last election. Personally I find anyone who agrees with either party 100% to be a no mind sheep. So come on , give us a good loud Blahhhhh

The chance of them making abortion illegal falls in the same “chance category” as libriulz making gun ownership illegal. It’s a dumb platform and a political waste of time, if not suicide altogether.

hey bozo, hillary wasn't my first choice either. but you know what? when it came down to two realistic possibilities, i took the much better option. you tried being cute instead, and threw your vote out the window. great point you made dude! i'm sure other candidates and voters observed that. you goign to do the same thing again next time?

No you didn't, you just voted for more Democrats.

Abortion to the right is like guns to the left. On the wish list , but well known to be political suicide. Its not going to happen.
