NASCAR Cup PR

After a frustrating start that saw them fall two laps off the pace, Matt DiBenedetto and the No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane team battled back late in Sunday’s Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway and came away with a 15th-place finish.

Erik Jones and the No. 43 Goody’s Cool Orange Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE team finished in the eighth-place in the NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) Xfinity 500 at the Martinsville (Va.) Speedway on Sunday, October 31.

Behind the wheel of his No., 48 Ally Camaro ZL1 1LE, Alex Bowman stole the show and captured the checkered flag in the Xfinity 500, the NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) Round of 8 elimination race at Martinsville Speedway.

Kyle Busch, driver of the No. 18 M&M’S Halloween Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing: “We just missed last week. That's where we lost all the ground."

In an overtime finish, Custer fought to stay in the top-20 but was unable to advance in the top lane and finished 23rd.

Survived a barrage of yellow caution flags in the final 35 laps to finish 12th.

ALEX BOWMAN, NO. 48 ALLY CAMARO ZL1 1LE – Race Winner HIS WORD TO ME, WOW. WHY THE CONTACT WITH DENNY HAMLIN? WHAT HAPPENED THERE? “I just got loose in. I got in too deep, knocked him out of the way and literally let him have the lead back. For anybody that wants to think I was trying to crash him, obviously wasn't the case considering I literally gave up the lead at Martinsville to give it back to him.”

Briscoe’s 22nd-place result bettered his previous best finish at Martinsville – 27th, earned in his first start at the track in April.

Almirola earned his fourth top-10 of the season and his sixth top-10 in 26 career NASCAR Cup Series starts at Martinsville.

BRAD KESELOWSKI, No. 2 Dent Wizard Ford Mustang -- “We gave it all we had. We just needed to be a little bit faster in stage two to get us a handful of points and be closer, and then at the end I was just too loose. I just couldn’t quite get it perfectly tweaked in, but, all in all, a pretty good run.”
