A look at winners and losers from Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Martinsville Speedway:
WINNERS
Kyle Larson – Larson took advantage of a late-race caution flag and excellent pit strategy to score a convincing four-second victory, his second win of the year.
Martin Truex Jr. – Truex wrestled with an ill-handling race car much of the day but rebounded to finish third, his first top-five run of what has been a frustrating season.
Chase Briscoe – Briscoe finished fifth, leading a career-high 109 laps.
Chase Elliott – Elliott didn’t count on a top-10 finish entering the race, his first back since suffering a broken leg. But he got a 10th, running particularly well in the final stage.
LOSERS
Legacy Motor Club – Noah Gragson finished 30th and was followed one spot behind by teammate Erik Jones. Both were two laps down.
William Byron – Byron was considered a favorite entering the race but failed to show up near the front and finished 23rd.
Harrison Burton – Burton caused the first on-track caution with a spin and finished 29th, two laps down.
