Horn Sounds on Thrilling First Quarter
Last Sunday’s Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond International Raceway marked the close of the first quarter of the Sprint Cup Series season.
The race featured 23 lead changes – most at RIR since 2007; 18 green flag passes for the lead – most at RIR since 2010; and 2,083 green flag passes – most at RIR since 2013.
Those impressive passing stats are the latest in a long line of statistical highlights generated from the first nine races.
