2017 NASCAR Monster Energy Cup - First Data 500

Martinsville Speedway gets a little rowdy as the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup playoffs continues with the Round of 8 as the road to the finale is paved with crashes and burns like you would expect from most NASCAR races this season.


Now, let's jot down what went happened so far in the Martinsville race. In Lap 35, caution goes up when the #13 of Ty Dillon and #17 of Ricky Stenhouse Jr. got spun. In Lap 89, another caution occurred when the #47 got spun. On Lap 130, Keselowski won Stage 1 of the race. In Lap 205, the #22 car tries to squeeze itself through the two cars and this meant scrapping the right side of the car through the wall. In Lap 260, Keselowski snagged another win at Martinsville. In Lap 498, Chase Elliott got spun as Denny Hamlin takes the lead.

As Kyle Busch wins the race, a near-finish wreckage has occurred on those behind him, making it one heck of a finish in Martinsville. That really is a bombshell no one saw it coming but for Busch, his win earns him a shot at the finals.

The playoffs continue at Texas Motor Speedway for the AAA Texas 500 on the 5th of November.
