The Latest: Keselowski leads field to green at Richmond

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The Latest on the NASCAR race at Richmond Raceway (all times local):

7:45 p.m.

Brad Keselowski has led the field to green for the start of the NASCAR Cup Series playoff race at Richmond Raceway.

Keselowski is seeking just his second career victory on the 0.75-mile oval, and he won the first from the pole position.

Kevin Harvick started on the outside of Keselowski with a slew of accomplished Richmond veterans also near the top.

Harvick and Denny Hamlin, who started sixth, have each won three times on the track. Clint Bowyer, who started fifth, has won twice.

Bowyer is racing with the word “Grandma” above the door of his Ford, a tribute to his grandmother, who died this week.
