NASCAR has added mandatory fines and other penalties for teams caught without five lug nuts on each wheel.

What was not to like? Tony Stewart was back in a race car for the first time this season, and he was driving at one of his favorite race tracks, Richmond International Raceway.

Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Richmond International Raceway was 400 laps long. But it all came down to the final turn.

With rain threatening to fall at Richmond International Raceway, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers put extra effort into Friday morning’s opening practice.
