Larry McReynolds will be the in-race analyst. 4. DI9_ForLife posted: 04.16.2021 - 5:34 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) It'll be interesting to see how Richmond looks as a day race. As races like 2016 and 2008 have proved, the racing at Richmond is better in the daytime. As much as I love the aesthetic of Richmond being run as a night race, the racing hasn't been quite as good as it was when they put the sealer down on the track. The usual suspects will be the main contenders this weekend: Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, MTJ, Keselowski and Harvick are the ones that I think will be tough to beat. You could maybe throw Austin Dillon in the mix too, especially considering how good he was there last fall 5.

Dillon has 3 top 6 finishes in his last 4 Richmond starts. 6. Chase9Fan posted: 04.18.2021 - 11:21 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Looking forward to this race, I always like Richmond. This year has been odd to me. I just can't dive into NASCAR like I should. Combination of COVID finally starting to get to me mentally (I live in Ontario where they continue strict lockdowns), My moms health getting worse, a 2 year old that takes a lot of work (but fun haha), and finally getting a championship after 30+ years of being a fan (I guess the load was blown with that one), just finding it hard to concentrate this year. I DVR all the races because they are hard to watch live, but i find myself kind of ffwd through them and watching certain times to see how good the racing is, etc. Still a fan, but life is just in the way. That said, I have always loved Richmond. Besides Rockingham, it's the track I have been too the most. As someone said above, the day seems to make better racing with the night being more of a spectacle (not saying the night is bad racing, but you know what I mean). Hope Chase and team can continue momentum after last week. Been a bit of a tough start for them. 7. DI9_ForLife posted: 04.18.2021 - 12:44 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I'm picking KB to win today. He's always done well at Richmond and I think he gets back to his winning ways today. Hopefully Chase can do well, he's been pretty hit or miss at Richmond, but he did pretty good the last time we were here 8.

That being said, Gibbs and Penske are both a bit off right now as a whole. I'm gonna say at the very least, we get our 8th different winner in 9 races this season. Who? I dunno. But winner number 8 on the season comes today. 9.

Cringeworthy, but less so than his awkward solo act next to Mike Joy last year. 10. Jimmie4life posted: 04.18.2021 - 3:16 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Truex is my pick to win. Truex's average finish over the past 4 races here is a 1.75, including 2 wins. He also won Martinsville last week, another short track. He's become a great short track winner, so if he wins I wouldn't be surprised. 11. Altracing posted: 04.18.2021 - 3:17 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) We're green at Richmond 12.

After six laps it's Hamlin, Elliott, Logano, Blaney, Harvick, Larson, Bell, Byron, and Dillon giving chase in the top-10. 18.

Mile501 posted: 04.18.2021 - 3:28 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @15 - That's not a bad prediction. Gibbs and Penske drivers have won 9 of the last 10 Richmond races (7 for Gibbs, 2 for Penske). The exception was Kyle Larson, who won with Ganassi. However, Hendrick seems to be right with Gibbs and Penske so far this season, so I certainly wouldn't count the Hendrick group out. Early on, the top 14 include nearly all the Gibbs, Penske, and Hendrick drivers, plus the RCR duo and Bubba Wallace. 28.

Elliott was out to lunch early in the race, but after the last stop in stage two he stayed right in front of Hamlin for a while, and after losing the lap he fought back to the lucky dog spot. He might salvage a decent finish today. 84. TeamDCRfan posted: 04.18.2021 - 5:21 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Threeway battle for the top spot. 85.

Mile501 posted: 04.18.2021 - 5:59 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Just trying to understand something, out of curiosity...why is everyone pitting twice during the final ~150 lap segment? Even if tires are wearing quickly, it seems like some drivers would try a one-stop strategy instead, considering how far they can go on fuel at Richmond. Does anyone have some insight into this? Also, did Larson have a problem or has he just been that far off today? 102. RandomFacts posted: 04.18.2021 - 6:00 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @101 The benefit of new tires are too great, if you just stopped once you would end up losing a lap by the end to ones getting new tires a 2nd time. 103.

The strategy was really good to watch and I feel like NASCAR tried its best to let this race play out naturally outside of the final yellow for Harvick wrecking. About a 6.5-7/10 for me 139.

Surprisingly, this is Hamlin's best finish of the season. He had 7 top 5s and had led more laps than any other driver prior to this race, but none of his top 5s had been better than 3rd. After disastrous starts to their respective seasons, 2020 playoff drivers Almirola and DiBenedetto finally each earn their long-awaited first top 10 finish of the year. Byron continues to look strong and consistent, scoring his 7th consecutive top 10 and his 6th consecutive finish between 4th and 8th. 159.

Dan posted: 04.18.2021 - 6:54 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) This race certainly was the most boring all year but it had potential at times. Prior to the Truex choke, it looked like a great battle was shaping up between Logano, Hamlin, and Truex. Bowman just kept coming though and he was the fastest car most of that last run before the caution. I think the fastest car at the end won and that is cool. The ending was fun as well. Every time it looked like we would get a good show something would happen to mess that up but overall not a great race. Not sure why this package is so terrible on hot, slick tracks but excels at night races in particular. The package before this one was the complete opposite. Horrible night races and great hot, slick track races. Go figure. Congrats to Bowman! 161.

Great race, some solid battles for the lead, all around racing was good, and the surprise of the weekend, with Bowman stealing the show and picking up his 3rd career victory and 1st of 2021. Sucks for Denny, especially being the hometown guy around here, and with the shootings just a few days a guy. He'll get to Victory Lane soon. Also, shout out to Matt DiBenedetto on getting that first top 10 of 2021! Let's see what's next weekend...Talladega...oh heck yeah 163.

I just can't wait for the #11 to win a NASCAR Cup Series title so I can hear you cry like a little baby until February! Finally, I'm actually happy for Bowman for his win yesterday. 170. Mile501 posted: 04.19.2021 - 10:03 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) I wonder how many people realize that Hamlin is actually tied for 18th in all-time Cup Series wins, and that he could easily rank among the top 15 by the time he retires? As for the race itself, though it seems people just like to complain, it felt more like an old-school race where tires and handling really mattered, and not that many guys managed to stay on the lead lap. It should also be noted that 25 cars (nearly everyone who was still running but wasn't on the lead lap) took the wave-around under the final caution. 171. ScottB posted: 04.19.2021 - 11:50 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) I was pretty happy with the racing here and at Martinsville, I always look forward to the short tracks. The only trend I found that bothers me was the laps led in those two races (I'm leaving out Bristol, because of the anomaly of the dirt surface this time around): Laps led by organization: Gibbs, including 23XI: 643 (71.4%) Penske: 237 (26.3%) Hendrick: 19 (2.1%) All others: 1 (0.1%)-One lap by Austin Dillon I'd hope for a little more balance that that. but overall the action was good enough. 172.

All in all pretty good race. Can't wait for COTA. Also Talladega should be interesting. In my opinion I think SHR will get back into the win column. Possibly with Almirola. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
