Richmond International Raceway isn't just Denny Hamlin's home track; it's one of his best tracks.
Hamlin, who grew up in nearby Chesterfield, tops all drivers in NASCAR's Driver Rating statistic – just ahead of Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch and Richard Childress Racing's Kevin Harvick.
Most of the top 10 are the usual suspects, but there's one very surprising name: Terry Labonte, who is 10th.
Will Clint Bowyer stumble and allow Ryan Newman, Jamie McMurray or Mark Martin into the Chase?
Not likely. Bowyer is ninth in driver rating, indicating he should have a good night.
