Chris Buescher will look to defend his win in last year's Spring race at one of NASCAR's most venerable tracks in Martinsville Speedway on Sunday.
Buescher already has three top-10 finishes this season (Phoenix, Bristol and Richmond) and is one of the favorites at Martinsville. Look for Denny Hamlin to also have a competitive day with five career Martinsville victories already under his belt. Hamlin and the No. 11 Toyota team are one of the hottest teams in NASCAR with wins at both Bristol and Richmond.
Team Penske's Joey Logano has also had successful performances at Martinsville with one victory and two runner-up finishes over the past 10 seasons. Martin Truex Jr. is a three-time Martinsville winner has been force at the track since 2015.
Other drives to watch are Kyle Larson, Martin Truex Jr., Christopher Bell, Brad Keselowski and Ty Gibbs.
The Martinsville is the shortest track in NASCAR Cup Series racing at just 0.526 miles long. Built in 1947, it was one of the first oval tracks and is the only track to remain on the NASCAR circuit since opening in 1948.
