NASCAR: Race to Chase ends with Air Guard Richmond 400
The NASCAR Race to the Chase ends at the Richmond International Raceway with the Air Guard 400 on September 11th. The Richmond race has been the final race in the Race to the Chase since its inception. The tracks size at 3/4 of a mile and the multiple race grooves, has provided some of the most exciting Saturday night races in recent NASCAR history.
The best drivers in recent history at Richmond’s second race in September range from Kurt Busch in a Dodge to Denny Hamlin, the first winner of the Saturday night race in a Toyota. In recent history, Chevy has won three of the last four races with Jimmie Johnson winning twice and Kevin Harvick winning once in the second Richmond race.
The drivers that win this race have been drivers that are not afraid of setting their cars up loose and on the edge of out of control. The favorites to win this race will cover the spectrum of car makes and the best NASCAR wheel men.
Two Ford drivers, Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards should be favorites in this race along with their teammate Matt Kenseth, a former Richmond winner. The Roush Fenway team has done well since Michigan and this could be a strong statement heading into the final ten races of the NASCAR Chase. The online NASCAR betting odds are sure get more interesting.
The Chevy drivers will also be a threat in this race with points leader Kevin Harvick, Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon who will be looking to get on track for the beginning of the NASCAR Chase. Harvick has won on drivers tracks this season and Richmond is a track that suits his style.
