Event Statistics

Description

The Cook Out 400 is an annual NASCAR Cup Series stock car race held at the Richmond Raceway in Richmond, Virginia, being the second of two races at the track with the first one being the Toyota Owners 400 in the spring.
This race was previously the final race before the Cup Series playoffs (previously "the Chase") began since NASCAR implemented them for the 2004 season until 2018 when it was moved into the playoffs (replacing the race at Chicagoland which was moved to June). The Brickyard 400 became the last race before the playoffs in 2018, replacing Richmond, and was again in 2019 and then the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona became the last race of the playoffs in 2020 and still is today. In 2022, this race was taken out of the playoffs and moved to August. In 2023, the race was moved again to the last weekend in July.

Result Description

It took a controversial full-contact finish but Austin Dillon claimed his first NASCAR Cup Series victory in two seasons in Sunday night’s Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway — vaulting from 32nd place in the points standings before the race to an automatic playoff berth with the win.
Coming to the checkered flag during the final lap of NASCAR Overtime, Dillon’s No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevy hit the rear bumper of the race-leading No. 22 Team Penske Ford driven by Joey Logano, crashing Logano’s car into the SAFER barrier. Then Dillon immediately moved low on track and hit Denny Hamlin’s No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota as he was driving by. That contact allowed Dillon to take the checkered flag only a few feet ahead and claim the all-important win just before the yellow flag was displayed.
