Both Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr. head to Martinsville needing a victory, or plenty of help, to make the Championship 4.
HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Joe Gibbs has worked in competitive sports for decades, so he knows all a team needs is a chance to have hope.championship favorites now with their backs against the wall going into the elimination race next Sunday at Martinsville Speedway, he has hope.sit 17 points behind the current cutoff heading into Martinsville. Two spots remain to be among the Championship 4. Truex and Hamlin can advance either with a win or by making up the deficit..
When Hamlin dropped out of the race, he did not know his specific points situation, but he knew it wasn't good. "I assume I just have got to go win. We were in this situation last year and we dominated the race. Really for the last two years in a row, we've dominated the fall race, so we'll just go there with the same mentality I always do."Truex has three victories and 10 career top-5 finishes at Martinsville.
As is typical this time of year, those still alive in the playoffs get asked about what a championship would mean. For Truex, the 2017 Cup champion, it would not only mean a space in history as a multi-time champion but also a big jump from a year ago when he went winless and didn't make the playoffs. Truex already has committed to at least one more season at JGR.
A day later, he left the track probably just hoping to make it to the Championship 4. It won't be easy.
