The NASCAR regular season will resume after the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris conclude on Sunday, NBC reports today, with the home stretch before the push into the postseason beginning in Richmond with a close race at the top of the regular season standings.
Kyle Larson has a 10-point lead over Chase Elliott as the two have swapped places in recent weeks. The top 16 is all but certain with just a few weeks to go, as nine points separate Kyle Busch and Chase Briscoe in the battle for the final playoff spot.
Richmond is the next stop in a long season, with the fall postseason just weeks away, and every possible point means more progress.
Sporting News has all the important details ahead of Sunday, including start times, where to watch and more.
