This weekend the world of NASCAR heads to Martinsville Speedway for the last race before the Championship 4 Round at Phoenix Raceway. For drivers outside the Top 4 in the NASCAR Playoff standings this weekend is one last surge to qualify and hopefully race for a championship.
For the NASCAR Cup Series, only two spots in the Championship 4 remain after wins by Joey Logano and Tyler Reddick the past two weeks. There are two spots remaining for the six eligible drivers and all are mathematically eligible to advance on points, sometimes with help, if they do not win on Sunday.
According to NASCAR, if there is a repeat winner or a win by a driver who cannot advance to the next round, the following drivers could clinch by being ahead of the third winless driver in the standings.
The same point requirements listed below would hold true if a new win comes from Christopher Bell or William Byron.
