At one of NASCAR’s oldest circuits, both three series will be in attendance for a jam-packed weekend of racing.

In 2021, Martin Truex Jr. won the spring race and Alex Bowman earned the fall race at the half-mile short track.

Denny Hamlin has won the race five times, making him the most accomplished active driver at Martinsville. Despite leading approximately 400 laps across the two Martinsville races only this year, he has not reached Victory Lane there since 2015.

Austin Cindric (Daytona), Kyle Larson (Fontana), Alex Bowman (Las Vegas), Chase Briscoe (Phoenix), William Byron (Atlanta), Ross Chastain (COTA), and Denny Hamlin are the racers completely locked into the playoffs by a race triumph (Richmond).

Ryan Blaney and Chase Elliott are tied for first place in the regular season rankings, but they are ranked eighth and ninth in the playoff rankings, respectively, because they have yet to win a game.

Despite the fact that Austin Dillon is rated 16th, he is out of the playoffs since Hamlin, who was ranked 20th, won at Richmond and advanced.
