      • The 2019 Federated Auto Parts 400 was a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race held on September 21, 2019, at Richmond Raceway in Richmond, Virginia. The race was contested over 400 laps on the 0.75-mile (1.21 km) D-shaped short track. It was the 28th race of the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season, the second race of the Playoffs, and the second race of the Round of 16.
      Joe Gibbs Racing initially achieved a historic 1-2-3-4 finish, but it was short-lived, as Erik Jones was disqualified following the race after failing post-race inspection, thus altering the team's dominant outcome.
