Saturday Night Fever

Four of Roush Fenway’s five NSCS wins at Richmond have come in the fall event. Roush Fenway has not won a ‘spring’ race at Richmond since Feb. 25, 1990. Former Roush Fenway driver Carl Edwards earned the organization’s most recent victory at Richmond in Sept. 2013.

All seven of Roush Fenway’s drivers have earned at least one top-10 finish in at least one of the three major NASCAR touring series. Greg Biffle leads the way with a combined total of one win, 11 top-five and 19 top-10 finishes across the three series at Richmond.

Roush Fenway has earned nine victories, 43 top-five finishes, 62 top-10 finishes and an average finish of 11.2 at Richmond in the XFINITY Series. All-in-all, three different drivers are responsible for the nine victories at the Virginia short track (Edwards, Mark Martin and Jeff Burton).

In the Points

Roush Fenway currently has all four XFINITY Series drivers inside the top 10 in the championship standings. Two-time race winner Chris Buescher remains first, with Elliott Sadler, Bubba Wallace and Ryan Reed ranking fifth, sixth and 10th, respectively.

Home Sweet Home

This weekend’s XFINITY race marks a homecoming for Sadler, the driver of the No. 1 OneMain Financial Ford Mustang. Sadler, who hails from Emporia, Va., grew up just over an hour away from Richmond International Raceway.
