Martinsville Will Separate Joe Gibbs Racing Teammates

All four Joe Gibbs Racing drivers not only managed to make it into the Chase this season, they’ve also made it to the Round of 8.

They are the only organization to have all of their drivers make it this far in the Chase.

Unfortunately the Round of 8 is probably as far as JGR will go with all of their drivers in the Chase. Denny Hamlin barely made it into the Round of 8 after Talladega and with the competition getting even harder, seeing all four drivers competing for the Championship at Homestead seems unrealistic.

The Round of 8 will be where JGR drivers separate and the best ones will move on to Homestead.

But of the  four JGR drivers, which ones are more than likely to move on to the final round of the Chase?

Kyle Busch won the Martinsville race back in April and Denny Hamlin has been known to be one of the better short track racers in NASCAR and has also won at Martinsville.

Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth however have not won a race at this track.

Busch and Hamlin will be the two JGR drivers who end up having the most success this Sunday and Martinsville will be the race that starts to separate the JGR drivers heading into the next round of the Chase.
