Six races into the season, Tyler Reddick has miraculously taken the checkered flag four times, including last weekend in Darlington. While Reddick has been dominant, projections are looking more toward the Hendricks Motorsports trio this Sunday — William Byron, Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson.
Martinsville is one of the smallest tracks on the circuit, measuring 0.526 miles around, and usually packing drivers tight for 400 laps. While the course is not as physically grueling as Darlington, it definitely poses a unique challenge for drivers.
Who will take the lead in Martinsville?
Here’s everything you need to know about the Cook Out 400, including TV channel and streaming options for the NASCAR race in Virginia.
