Denny Hamlin took a controversial victory last weekend at Pocono after pushing Kyle Larson into the outside wall on a late-race restart.
He claimed the checkered flag to a chorus of boos, but there were no apologies from the veteran driver after earning his 50th career win and Toyota's 600th in NASCAR.
He led a Toyota 1-2-3 with 23XI Racing's Tyler Reddick in second and Hamlin's Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Martin Truex Jr. finishing third.
Truex has extended his lead in the regular season championship, now leading William Byron by 30 points.
Michael McDowell holds the 16th and final spot in the playoffs, 17 points ahead of A.J. Allmendinger and 23 points clear of Daniel Suarez.
Larson is the most recent winner at Richmond, taking victory in a Hendrick Motorsports 1-2 finish earlier this year.
There's been some Silly Season news recently with Justin Haley revealing that he will leave Kaulig Racing at the end of the year, joining Rick Ware Racing in a multi-year deal.
Spire Motorsports named Kevin 'Bono' Manion as the new crew chief for Ty Dillon this week, while Legacy Motor Club appointed Cal Wells III as the race team's new CEO.
