Entering Richmond, there's plenty of drivers within striking distance as the current 15th-placed driver, Shane van Gisbergen, is only 47 markers above the cutline while Austin Cindric (16th) has a mere 29-point cushion over Ryan Preece for the final spot.

Needless to say, it's going to get wild quickly on-track. For those looking to tune in for all the intense action tonight, you can stream the race live on Sling, which carries USA. Learn more about how to watch below:
