**NASCAR at Martinsville Speedway Preview**
This weekend, NASCAR heads to Martinsville Speedway for the final race before the Championship 4 at Phoenix Raceway. For drivers not in the top four of the NASCAR Playoffs, it’s the last chance to secure a spot to contend for the championship. With Joey Logano and Tyler Reddick already clinched, only two spots remain in the NASCAR Cup Series Championship 4, and six drivers are mathematically eligible to advance if they earn enough points or win.
**Points Requirements for Cup Series Drivers**
For drivers like Christopher Bell and William Byron, specific points will clinch a spot:
– **Christopher Bell**: Needs 26 points to clinch.
– **William Byron**: Needs 49 points to clinch.
– **Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin, Ryan Blaney, and Chase Elliott**: Require help to clinch without a win.
A new win by certain drivers can also impact standings.
**Xfinity and Truck Series Playoff Updates**
In the Xfinity Series, Austin Hill and A.J. Almendinger have qualified, with two spots left. Drivers like Justin Allgaier and Cole Custer have specific point requirements to clinch. In the Craftsman Truck Series, Grant Enfinger is secured, with three additional spots open. Points or a win will determine the final Championship 4 for these series.
