Cup and Xfinity races at Richmond

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series is taking a break and will return April 7th at Martinsville Speedway. The Cup and Xfinity series were active at Virginia’s 3/4-mile Richmond Raceway this past weekend. Denny Hamlin, who hadn’t finished in the top-10 so far this season, broke the slump with a victory in Sunday’s Cup Series Toyota Owners 400. This was appropriate for the Virginia native to do so in his #11 Toyota at his home track.
