Saturday Richmond NASCAR Xfinity race: Start time, TV info, weather

NP3RxYh2RJNB
The short track package is back for its second race in Richmond and the Motormouths discuss what they learned in Phoenix that would indicate who will be successful in Virginia.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series season has been an “alternate” one for driver Austin Hill.

Starting with a victory in the Daytona International Speedway season opener, Hill has won every other race, also scoring at Las Vegas and Atlanta. If that trend holds, Hill will win Saturday’s Xfinity race at Richmond Raceway after finishing 37th last week because of engine trouble at Circuit of the Americas.

Hill leads the points standings entering Richmond. Second is Riley Herbst, who has two top-five runs this year.
