Joe Gibbs Racing is officially a big threat for the 2025 Cup Series title. Denny Hamlin started the Round of 8 opener with a bang, winning in Las Vegas. His Sin City triumph advanced him automatically to the Championship 4. Then Chase Briscoe excelled in the immediately succeeding week, dodging carnage and mishaps to win in Talladega. But now, Hamlin’s focus is on who will be his team’s lucky rivals.

Up next is Martinsville Speedway, and the ‘Paperclip’ marks the penultimate race of the 2025 Cup Series season. Naturally, tensions are high and the anticipation is simmering as this presents the last opportunity for the remaining playoff drivers to advance to Phoenix. According to Denny Hamlin, Rick Hendrick’s drivers look attractive in this regard.
