Tristan McKee put the No. 77 on the pole for the Black’s Tire 200 at Martinsville Friday, the youngest pole winner in NASCAR national series history. The old mark was Cole Custer’s, at 16 years, 4 months.
His fifth Truck start, and his first at Martinsville. A 19.549 second lap beat Layne Riggs and Chandler Smith.
Then he led 29 laps and finished 5th.
Next stop: JR Motorsports in the O’Reilly Series in 2027. #nascar
Corey Heim got to two Cup wins faster than any winner who raced in 2026: San Diego in his 13th start, Indianapolis in his 15th. Jimmie Johnson needed 16 starts to score 2 wins and Denny Hamlin needed 27. Elite Company.
How Corey Heim stacks up in starts to a second Cup win: turnfourracing.com/cards/x-2…
The average 2026 Cup winner lined up 6.1, the closest to the front since 1998. In 2002, 12 of 36 races were won from 20th or worse. In 2026, only Tyler Reddick from 26th at Daytona. The asterisk: Denny Hamlin won the Michigan pole, was sent to the rear and won anyway.
Kyle Larson won at Talladega in October in his 49th Cup start at Daytona and Talladega. It was his first win at either track. Only 3 drivers ever needed more starts: Kurt Busch needed 64, Michael Waltrip 60 and Harry Gant 50.
How long every winner waited for a first Daytona or Talladega win: turnfourracing.com/cards/x-2…
Denny Hamlin is the only active full-time driver in Martinsville’s all-time top 10.
A win Sunday puts him 1 point behind Jimmie Johnson.

Chase Briscoe's crew has the fastest 4-tire stops in Cup this season, 9.56 seconds.
Gibbs crews hold 4 of the top 5 spots. Larson's crew is 3rd. At Martinsville, where passing is hard, the last stop on Sunday could decide it.

Tyler Reddick has 6 wins this season. Nobody else has more than 4.
He's never had a top 5 at Martinsville: 13 starts, best finish 7th, average finish 19.1. If the 45 is running top 5 late on Sunday, it's never happened before.

Chase Elliott was the fastest car on track for 380 laps in the last 9 Cup races at Martinsville, more than anyone. Denny Hamlin was right behind him at 377. William Byron was fastest on only 269, and he won 3 of those 9 races. Elliott and Hamlin won 1 each.

NASCAR fans are the most creative at complaining and it’s not even close.
“If only the full time drivers missed more races!” 🤦🏼♂️
Replying to @TurnFourT4
This why the cup series gets stale. In the past drivers would miss races and someone else would get a shot and parlay that into a promotion. The only driver to do that recently is Hocevar.
Joey Logano has started 646 Cup points races in a row, every one since the 2009 Daytona 500. That's 18 seasons without missing one. Only 10 drivers ever had a longer run. Dale Earnhardt is next at 648, and Jeff Gordon holds the record at 797.
All the numbers behind this chart: turnfourracing.com/cards/x-2…
Kyle Larson started the Chase 55 points behind Denny Hamlin, the 7th seed of 16. He took the lead by 1 point at Bristol. A 34th at Phoenix cut his lead to 5 over Christopher Bell. After Talladega he leads by 73 with 2 races left.
The full table, every driver a link: turnfourracing.com/cards/x-2…
Larson leads the Chase by 73 going to Martinsville on Sunday, and Hamlin, Bell and Briscoe are 6 points apart behind him.
The pack has 15 numbers for it, like Hamlin's 7 Martinsville stage wins and 1 race win since 2022.
