The Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway was completely sold out on Saturday, as fans flocked to witness the high-speed action that the three-quarter-mile oval delivers. The race turned out to be a huge hit as William Byron clinched the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series Regular Season Championship, while Austin Dillon secured his sixth career victory.

Austin Dillon — He snapped a 37-race winless streak with his second consecutive victory at Richmond — and did it without the controversy of last year’s race. Dillon led 107 laps (he had led only eight laps all season). That also marked the most laps the No. 3 car has led in a Cup race since Dale Earnhardt led 107 laps in the 1998 Daytona 500.
