Eight drivers entered Martinsville Speedway with a chance to win the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series championship. Two had already punched their tickets to the Championship 4 at Phoenix Raceway next weekend.
Of the other six, four entered the "Paperclip" knowing they probably had to win Sunday's 500-lap Xfinity 500 around the four-turn, 0.526-mile (0.847-kilometer) to advance.
Will any of that quartet, including Hendrick Motorsports teammates William Byron and Chase Elliott and Team Penske teammates Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney, join Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Denny Hamlin and Chase Briscoe, or will the remaining Championship 4 spots remain in possession of Joe Gibbs Racing's Christopher Bell and Hendrick Motorsports' Kyle Larson?
Hendrick Motorsports' William Byron started Sunday's race on pole after posting the fastest lap speed in Saturday's qualifying session, and Joe Gibbs Racing's Ty Gibbs started beside him on the front row.
A full starting lineup is available here.
