2024 NASCAR Cup Series - Toyota Owners 400

The 2024 NASCAR Cup Series continues in Richmond Raceway for the Toyota Owners 400 as drivers celebrate Easter Sunday with speed and a show of force.

As the green flag waved, NASCAR's Easter Sunday race is underway. Stage 1 saw the whole race in caution in Lap 30 as NASCAR deemed the track dry and teams changed to slick tires. After that, Josh Berry sent Daniel Suarez spinning in Lap 64. As Kyle Larson wins Stage 1 under caution, Stage 2 saw numerous drivers taking pit stops, and as Martin Truex Jr. wins Stage 2, the final stage saw an overtime-triggering spin by Kyle Larson.

Denny Hamlin won the Toyota Owners 400 of the NASCAR Cup Series while Kyle Larson and Martin Truex Jr. contact after the finish after MTJ drove him hard on the final hard then bumped the back of Hamlin, unhappy that he ran him up the track on the final restart.

The next race is at Martinsville Speedway for the Cook Out 400 this April 7th.
