Kyle Larson is on the pole
The NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs Round of 8 is nearing its conclusion.
Martinsville Speedway on Sunday will play host to the Xfinity 500, the final race of the current round. Kyle Larson, who will be on the pole, is the only driver with a confirmed spot in the championship four. Chase Elliott, Denny Hamlin, Martin Truex Jr. and Joey Logano will round out the top five in the starting order.
Three spots remain up for grabs, making Sunday’s race, for obvious reasons, huge. There was chaos in Kansas last weekend, with a number of playoff drivers posting awful finishes. We’ll see if that remains the case at Martinsville.
