NASCAR: Full qualifying order revealed for Richmond race

Following a three-week break due to NBC's coverage of the Summer Olympics in Paris, France, Richmond Raceway is set to host the Cook Out 400, the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season's 23rd points race, this Sunday afternoon.

In hosting this 400-lap race, the four-turn, 0.75-mile (1.207-kilometer) oval in Richmond, Virginia is set to become the first of 10 tracks to host its second race of the 36-race season.

It is one of just three tracks on the schedule twice during the regular season, with the other two being Daytona International Speedway and Darlington Raceway.

Richmond Raceway is a short track, so each driver is set to get two qualifying laps instead of one during the single-car qualifying session. The qualifying groups, specifically the qualifying order, were determined using a metric that NASCAR implemented back in 2020. A detailed explanation of that formula can be found here.

The top five drivers in each group advance to the second round shootout for the pole position, where they each line up for another two-lap qualifying attempt.
