The Nascar Cup 2022 Federated Auto Parts 400 race at the Richmond raceway will begin at 3:00 PM ET on Sunday, August 14.
The NASCAR Cup Series is the top racing series of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR). The series began in 1949. The championship is determined by a points system, with points being awarded according to finish placement and number of laps led. The season is divided into two segments. After the first 26 races, 16 drivers, selected primarily on the basis of wins during the first 26 races, are seeded based on their total number of wins. They compete in the last ten races, where the difference in points is greatly minimized. This is called the NASCAR playoffs.
The series holds strong roots in the Southeastern United States, with about half of the races in the 36-race season being held in that region. Cup Series cars are unique in automobile racing. The engines are powerful enough to reach speeds of over 200 mph (320 km/h), but their weight coupled with a relatively simple aerodynamic package (based on the body styles of cars currently available for retail sale in the United States) make for poor handling. The bodies and chassis of the cars are strictly regulated to ensure parity, and electronics are traditionally spartan in nature.
The NASCAR Cup Series at Richmond Raceway will be a two day event and will start on 13th August, Saturday. The first day starts with a Practice session for the drivers to get familiar with the track and is followed by Qualifying at 5:50 PM ET. The Federated Auto Parts 400 race will begin at 3:00 PM ET on Sunday.
