2014 Richmond - Federated Auto Parts 400 - Pre Race Thread

Does NASCAR have a system for how to handle a delayed race in the post-Chase era?

In 1998, they moved Daytona to October and in 2001, they moved New Hampshire to the end of the season. Wouldn't they be forced to do the same to Richmond and have The Chase be settled at Chicago?

Jimmie Johnson was asked who the strongest team is heading into the Chase. Answer: Harvick. Says he could have won eight races by now.

@MikeHoag88 "Nationwide is on your side." And on your bumper, and on your quarter panel, and your hood, and on your rear window. pic
 
7 drivers turned more than 100 laps in that 3 hour practice: Logano, Larson, McMurray, Dale Jr, Hamlin, Gordon and KuBusch.
 
Per Goodyear, new right-side tires at RIR "designed for better wear and the ability to lay down rubber." New lefts add stagger.
 
Only four drivers have raced their way into the Chase at Richmond after being on the outside looking in - Jeremy Mayfield winning the race and jumping up to 9th in 2004, Ryan Newman displacing Jamie McMurray with a 12th-place finish in 2005, Kasey Kahne knocking out Tony Stewart with a 3rd in 2006, and Brian Vickers knocking out Kyle Busch with a 7th in 2009.
