Transcript
00:00Welcome back to Martinsville Speedway. I am Alex Weaver and we are one race away
00:04from a championship showdown in Phoenix. Two drivers are locked into the
00:09championship for Joey Logano and Tyler Reddick but two spots are on the line.
00:13For drivers below the elimination line it is one final shot and for Denny
00:18Hamlin who sits 18 points below the elimination line and had hard contact
00:22with the wall during Saturday's practice session he'll have to use strategy to
00:27come from the rear of the field and drive his way to the front. Keeping your
00:30track position making you ever make sure you have a car that is good on restarts
00:35doesn't have to be great but you can't give up a lot of spots because they're
00:39so hard to get back in the long run and then you got to have a car that really
00:42performs well in the long run because that typically is where you're gonna
00:46make up the most spots. For some drivers Martinsville will be the end of their
00:50playoff journey but for others it's a ticket to the championship for
00:53Martinsville is on deck make sure and tune in 2 p.m. Eastern on NBC
