Here’s a look at who the NBC Sports staff is picking to the NASCAR Cup race at Richmond International Raceway.
Nate Ryan
Kyle Busch. If he is leading on the final lap this season, ex-teammate Carl Edwards won’t be around to bump him aside.
Dustin Long
Erik Jones. Toyota wins its fourth consecutive race at this track and rookie scores his first Cup victory.
Daniel McFadin
Clint Bowyer wins his first race in six years at the track where his career began to unravel in the September 2013 race with the notorious “Spin Gate.”
Jerry Bonkowski
Pole-sitter Matt Kenseth wins this and becomes the first Joe Gibbs Racing driver to win a NASCAR Cup race in 2017. Kenseth has a good record at Richmond with two wins. He makes it three visits to victory lane this afternoon.
