NASCAR is headed to Richmond for more short track racing this season. What will happen at the Toyota Owners 400? Here are five predictions for the race on Sunday.

After a rain delayed Bristol race that saw drivers battling around Thunder Valley on Monday, it was Jimmie Johnson who would win yet another race this season.

Now drivers are headed to Richmond for the Toyota Owners 400 and another battle around a short track.

The race on Sunday is going to see temperatures up to 90 degrees. How will the hot track surface impact the racing on Sunday?

And while normally the race itself is the biggest focus heading into the weekend, this week has been different. Dale Earnhardt Jr. announced his retirement and media all over the Internet has been talking about it. How well will Junior race on Sunday? Will he pull off his first win of the season?

One of the biggest standout drivers week after week has been Kyle Larson. Not only is he first in points, but he ran extremely well at Bristol. Will he continue to have success this season or will he start to slip behind some of NASCAR’s other top drivers?

There are several current drivers who have had success at Richmond. Will one of them win the Toyota Owners 400 on Sunday?

NASCAR fans are getting ready for what will hopefully be another great short track race. But before we go green on Sunday, here are five predictions for Richmond.
