NASCAR visited Richmond Raceway for its lone race weekend in 2026, and I was on the ground (42,000 steps' worth) covering all the Cup and Truck Series action for Richmond Magazine. My Frontstretch compatriot Michael Massie was there for the website, so we talk about everything that went down as the track celebrated its 80th anniversary.
Kaden Honeycutt dominated a truck race that featured seven Virginia drivers in the field, including veteran Elliott Sadler, trailblazer Dystany Spurlock and -- making his first-ever start -- Tristan McKee. On the Cup side, Joey Logano won and kept racking up points as Ryan Blaney faded late and Chase Briscoe couldn't close a dominant evening.
We also talk about the points outlook as both series near their respective Chase cutoffs, and who we expect to contend as we get closer to the postseason.
