The penultimate race of the NASCAR playoffs has arrived.

Drivers will hit Martinsville Speedway this weekend for the ninth of 10 races in the postseason. That means the four drivers competing for the championship in Phoenix next week will be decided over a 500-lap battle at the Virginia short track.
