NASCAR: 4 Predictions for The Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond

NASCAR is heading to the final race of the regular season and for drivers on the Chase bubble, the race at Richmond is make or break. Before the sun goes down and the lights turn on for Saturday nights race, here are four predictions for Richmond.

The last race of the regular season is always one of the more interesting times in the NASCAR. With the newer Chase setup there has yet to be a regular season with 16 winners, which leaves open spots in the Chase for drivers to make it in on points.

Every point matters, and this will be the case on Saturday night during the  Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond.

Several drivers like Jamie McMurray, Kasey Kahne and Chris Beuscher are all on the Chase bubble and failing to gain enough points on Saturday night could ruin any chance they may have at seeing the post season.

With the type of racing we’ve seen this year and the pressure drivers are facing to make the Chase, what kind of racing can we expect at Richmond? Will drivers be willing to put everything on the line or will they be extra cautious when the green flag drops?

Cautious drivers could make for lots of green flag racing and with clean air impacting the lead car so much this season, once someone gets out in front we could see them lap the majority of the field.

Who will win the last race of the season? Who will make the Chase? Before these questions are answered here are four predictions for the Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond.
