The NASCAR Cup Series is on a short track for the first time this season with the Cook Out 400 on March 29 at Martinsville Speedway.

The half-mile paper clip has not produced the best racing in the Next Gen era, but increased horsepower this season could help the race quality.

Last week, Tyler Reddick won at Darlington for his fourth victory of the season out of six overall. He is aiming to become the first driver with 10+ wins in a Cup Series season since Kyle Larson in 2021.

Denny Hamlin is the defending race champion and on the pole. Keep an eye on William Byron, who won at Martinsville last fall and has won two of the last four races at track.
