The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series hits Martinsville Speedway this weekend for the Cook Out 400.
Last time out at Homestead, Kyle Larson came out victorious after a largely successful weekend for the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports driver. Larson competed in all three of the Truck, Xfinity, and Cup Series in Florida and ran out as the winner of the very former and latter, only denied the sweep after receiving contact during a late Xfinity Series overtime restart having dominated the race.
With his Cup Series win at Homestead, Larson became the fourth driver in NASCAR's top tier to win a race this season following William Byron's win at Daytona, Josh Berry's win at Las Vegas, and wins for Christopher Bell atAtlanta, COTA and Phoenix.
Martinsville Speedway this weekend is set to provide a new, unique challenge to all of the Cup Series drivers, with the .526-mile track having a mix of asphalt and concrete on its surface and barely any banking.
The historic track first opened in 1957, holding its first-ever Cup Series race in 1949. Remarkably, the winningest NASCAR driver at the circuit is Richard Petty, with an impressive fifteen Martinsville victories under his belt. Denny Hamlin is the active Cup Series driver with the most wins at the Virginia circuit, with five Martinsville wins in 2008, 2009, 2010 (x2), and 2015.
With all that said, let's get into all the details you need to know ahead of what should be another exciting weekend of racing action.
