How Did Northeast NASCAR Drivers Do At Richmond?

by Lou Modestino
Richmond RacewayAustin Dillion won the Cup race at Richmond.  Joey Logano of Middletown, CT ended up fourth while Ryan Preece of Berlin, CT ended his evening in 35th place.
In the Craftsman Truck Series race, Corey Heim won that event.  Corey LaJoie came in fourth. Next was Gio Ruggiero of Seekonk, MA who ended up sixth.  Corey LaJoie is the son of two-time Xfinity Champion Randy LaJoie who grew up in Norwalk, CT.
Checking the track’s grandstand, it looked like the crowd was good.  In my opinion I’d have to say at least 60 % full!

RICHMOND, Va. – Austin Dillon claimed his sixth career NASCAR Cup Series race trophy, earned a 2025 Playoff bid and just as importantly, he enjoyed some sweet redemption in Saturday night’s Cook Out 400 at Richmond (Va.) Raceway.

Dillon led 107 laps on the night, including the final 49 to claim the victory and automatic berth in the 16-driver Playoff field – vaulting from a 25th place position in the championship standings before the green flag to a championship berth at the checkered flag in a clutch effort from the 2018 Daytona 500 winner and his No. 3 Richard Childress Racing team.
