NASCAR at Richmond: TV schedule, lineup, qualifying drivers for the Federated Auto Parts 400 image

Now that one spot has been locked up in the second round of the NASCAR playoffs the pressure is really on the drivers on the bubble.

After Martin Truex Jr.'s victory last week in Las Vegas, there is one less guaranteed spot heading into the last few weeks of the first round and drivers like Ryan Newman, Erik Jones, Clint Bowyer and Kurt Busch have a little bit more pressure on them to win.

Busch and Jones already have victories this season, so they know their teams can put winning cars on the track, but Newman and Bowyer will have to do something they have yet to do this season on a track dominated by Kyle Busch in the past.

Kyle Busch has six career wins at Richmond Raceway and 17 top 5s to go with those victories. He'll likely be ready to go to victory lane for the fifth time this year and the first time in the postseason.

Getting a win will be tough on the 0.75-mile track and Bowyer and Newman will certainly have their work cut out for them.
