NASCAR at Richmond results: Alex Bowman steals Toyota Owners 400 victory from Denny Hamlin - Sporting News

sisilihya.blogspot.com

Alex Bowman was the man on Sunday — for 12 laps.

Bowman took home the checkered flag in the 2021 Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond with a late charge, holding off Denny Hamlin after a restart with just a dozen laps to go.

Hamlin won the first two stages of Sunday's race and was in control after a late caution, but Bowman stole the victory from him with great late pace. He opened up a half-second lead after the restart and took home his first win of the 2021 season — and the third win of his career.

Hamlin, meanwhile, secured his eighth top-five finish of the year, but he's probably left wondering what he's going to have to do to take home a checkered flag in 2021.

NASCAR start time today

The green flag for Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Richmond Raceway is scheduled to wave at 3:15 p.m. ET.

It's unlikely that weather will delay the start. The National Weather Service's midweek forecast  for Richmond, Va., called for partly sunny skies and a high temperature near 70 degrees, the capper to a dry weekend.
