NASCAR Cup Series racing at Martinsville Speedway

Denny Hamlin has been dealt a major blow in his pursuit of a Championship 4 spot in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs, having been unable to compete in qualifying on Saturday.

The playoff contender, and co-owner of 23XI Racing, crashed in practice after his throttle stuck open due to a big lump of rubber getting stuck in the mechanisms, and wasn't able to run at all in qualifying – leaving him starting from 37th.
