National Guard

The 2010 season at Richmond International Raceway continues with another NASCAR Doubleheader weekend September 10-11.

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series’ second stop of the season at Richmond is one of the most important on the schedule. The Sept. 11 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series 400 is the final race before the start of The Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup - NASCAR’s 10-race playoff championship – making this “One Last Race To Make The Chase.” After “One Last Race To Make The Chase,” only the top 12 drivers in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points standings are eligible for The Chase.
