How to watch NASCAR at Martinsville

Regular Season Standings and Playoff Picture
With seven different winners in the first seven races, here are the drivers currently locked into the playoffs via a race victory: Austin Cindric (Daytona), Kyle Larson (Fontana), Alex Bowman (Las Vegas), Chase Briscoe (Phoenix), William Byron (Atlanta), Ross Chastain (COTA), and Denny Hamlin (Richmond).
