2022 NASCAR at Martinsville - Start time, how to watch, schedule & more
The penultimate race of the 2022 NASCAR Cup season at Martinsville (V.A.) Speedway will cut the current playoff field in half and leave four drivers to fight for the title in the season finale.
Joey Logano remains the only driver to have secured a place in the Championship 4, courtesy of his victory at Las Vegas. Ross Chastain leads all others on points after back-to-back runner-up finishes.
Chastain is 19 points above the cut line, followed by Chase Elliott +11 and William Byron +5 points.
Below the cut line entering Martinsville are Denny Hamlin, Ryan Blaney, Christopher Bell, and Chase Briscoe. gIt's likely a must-win situation for everyone in the elimination besides Hamlin, in what is sure to be an intense cut-off race.
