The NASCAR Cup Series heads to the capital of Virginia for the second time this year as the regular season winds down.Only five races remain before the 10-race, 16-driver playoffs begin on Sept. 3, and five drivers have already clinched postseason berths — Martin Truex Jr. (three wins), William Byron (four), Denny Hamlin (two), Kyle Busch (three) and Kyle Larson (two).Six additional drivers have scored one win this season — Christopher Bell, Ross Chastain, Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, Tyler Reddick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. — and all could clinch a playoff spot Sunday if any of the 11 drivers who have earned a victory this year take the checkered flag at Richmond Raceway.Of the winless drivers, Kevin Harvick, who is retiring from full-time racing at the end of the season, stands the best chance to make the playoffs on points.
