Total times read this article : 12

A leader is separating from the pack in the NASCAR Cup Series standings.

Kyle Larson enters Sunday’s Federated Auto Parts 400 on pole position, while current points leader Chase Elliott starts from 23rd. Elliott, though, holds a somewhat commanding lead over the field, with 847 points entering today’s race: His four wins and eight top-five finishes have helped push him above second place, where Ryan Blaney (728 points) currently sits.

Larson, currently in fifth place, has some short history on the short track at Richmond. Earlier in the year, he finished fifth in the 2022 Toyota Owners 400 at the Richmond, and he finished sixth in the 2021 edition of the Federated Auto Parts 400. That history could bode well for another top finish, to keep him in the championship hunt.
