Ricky Stenhouse Jr. On Pace For Slowest Ever Season
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is plodding through quite a rough patch right now. His current speed percentile of 29.42 ranks fourth from last in the NASCAR Cup Series this year. Stenhouse has had below-average speed in every race except the Daytona 500 and it raises the question whether Chevrolet shifted some of its investment away from […]

After Richmond, Zane Smith overtook Daniel Hemric to become the slowest full-time driver of 2024 with a speed percentile of 16.93. However, he will start 24th at Martinsville.

Michael McDowell qualified 35th for Sunday's Martinsville race and this is one of his worst tracks historically. McDowell's average finish stands at 28.4 and he has never finished better than 14th at Martinsville. Front Row Sports' top driver and short tracks have not mixed. Although he usually outruns his teammate Todd Gilliland, short tracks are […]

Carson Hocevar Quickest For Spire But Starts 25th Sunday
Carson Hocevar was the fastest qualifier of the three Spire Motorsports drivers for Sunday's Cook Out 400 at Martinsville.

Hocevar had an extremely mediocre run at Martinsville last year, finishing 31st four laps down and […]

Daniel Hemric Faster But Not Fast Enough
Daniel Hemric overtook Zane Smith to not be in last place in speed percentile this year at Richmond last weekend, but his speed percentile of 17.87 still ranks second worst in the Cup Series and even at Richmond, he was only faster than 20% of the other cars in that race. Hemric was solid at […]

Kaz Grala Best On Short Tracks But Not At Martinsville
Kaz Grala makes his NASCAR Cup Series debut at Martinsville. While the Rick Ware Racing driver had decent speed at Richmond, don't expect him to repeat that feat at Martinsville. This is because his average finish of 21.5 in the Xfinity Series and an average finish of 17.0 in the Craftsman Truck Series. Short tracks […]

Harrison Burton Starts 34th From Martinsville On Sunday
Harrison Burton starts 34th at Martinsville on Sunday, far off his three de facto Penske teammates who all qualified in the top fifteen. Like Austin Cindric, Burton has been much closer to his stronger 2022 speed than his weaker 2023 speed this year, but short tracks remain Burton's Achilles' heel. He has never finished better […]

Austin Cindric Has Issues On Short Tracks Like Martinsville
Austin Cindric qualified 14th for tomorrow's Martinsville race. Although he was generally much faster in 2022 than in 2023, he did have his best ever Martinsville finish in the 2023 fall event when he finished 9th. However, he is not particularly known for his short track prowess. Cindric had below average speed at both Bristol […]

Josh Williams Tries Out Martinsville On Sunday
Josh Williams begins Martinsville on Sunday from the 33rd position. The Kaulig Racing driver is driving the No. 16 Chevy. Williams drove the car in Atlanta and lasted a mere two laps before a crash ended his day. He began that race 30th as the Chevy was nearly a full half second slower than the […]

John Hunter Nemechek A Bit Off At Martinsville
John Hunter Nemechek never seemed to get going on Saturday at Martinsville. As a result, the Legacy Motor Club driver will begin 29th from Martinsville Speedway. Teammate Erik Jones managed to finish 17th in qualifying. However, practice proved to be even worse for Nemechek who was 32nd. Yes, 0.375 seconds is an eternity at Richmond […]

Brad Keselowski Looking For Better Martinsville Finish
Brad Keselowski has not had an easy time as a driver for RFK Racing at Martinsville. He has finished 17th or worse four times in four races. However, the last two times around the "paper clip" have seen the No. 6 Ford fifth after Stage 2. He even led seven laps in the April of […]

Austin Dillon Can Run Well At Martinsville
Austin Dillon has shown the ability to run well at Martinsville. The Richard Childress Racing driver finished third just two years ago. Last year, Dillon flirted in and out of the Top 10 before settling for 12th. Dillon has not led a single lap in 2024 and has an average finish of 25.7. That is […]

Chris Buescher Has Uphill Battle At Martinsville
Chris Buescher and RFK Racing did not have the best of Saturdays. Buescher and his No. 17 Ford will start Sunday's Cook Out 400 from the 30th spot. He finally finished better than 11th last October (eighth). The last time Buescher started this far back was 2017 (33rd in that April race). He was eighth […]

Zion Williamson Might Miss Another Game
New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (finger) is questionable for Sunday's game in Phoenix. He has a left finger contusion, which kept him off the floor for Friday's loss to the San Antonio Spurs. But the Pelicans are trailing the Suns to climb out of the Play-In picture, meaning Williamson should be out there. Of […]
