Friday Faceoff: Will An Afternoon Martinsville Cup Race Be An Improvement?
Martinsville Speedway hosts the penultimate race of the 2022 Cup season.
Martinsville Speedway hosts the penultimate race of the 2022 Cup season.
The finalists for the eighth champion include Xfinity Series driver Josh Williams, Sherry Pollex, longtime partner of 2017 NASCAR Cup Series champion Martin Truex Jr. and Jes Ferreira
Take a closer look at which of these NASCAR Cup Series winners from last season could still have a shot at breaking through with two races left in 2022.
There was no guarantee back in February that Ross Chastain would win any races or even make the playoffs.
As compared to recent years, there was a little less playoff driver focus than we’re used to.
Ross Chastain and AJ Allmendinger put on a textbook example of hard, aggressive and respectful racing behind Kyle Larson at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
In a race where not too many cautions flew, tire strategy was king, but Lady Luck still found a way to intervene in the final stage as Martin Truex Jr. both won and lost the race on pit lane.
Both drivers have gone winless so far in 2022, and Sunday’s race at Homestead-Miami didn’t do them any favors after both made critical errors that cost them chances at finally earning that first win of the year.
Kyle Larson captured his 19th career NASCAR Cup Series victory.
Remember when NASCAR’s mile-and-a-halfs were among the most-criticized circuits on the schedule? That’s changed entirely in 2022.
