Dating back to 1959, the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series season had been the only season with just one race at Richmond Raceway until now, and even then, it was scheduled to host two races until pandemic-related restrictions wreaked havoc on the calendar.
Richmond lost its spring race in 2025, and this Saturday night's Cook Out 400 is the one and only race scheduled to take place at the four-turn, 0.75-mile (1.207-kilometer) Virginia short track this year.
This race is the final short track race of the regular season, and once it concludes, there will be just one race remaining on the schedule before the playoffs, that being next weekend's race, a second straight Saturday night race, at Daytona International Speedway.
RFK Racing's Ryan Preece took the pole position for Saturday's Richmond race in Friday's qualifying session, and 23XI Racing's Tyler Reddick started beside him on the front row. A full starting lineup is available here.
Follow along with our Cook Out 400 race updates from Richmond Raceway.
