Eight drivers left in the playoffs and 4 remaining races to crown a champ beginning at Martinsville on Sunday. The track is a hair over 1/2 mile, a little shorter than Bristol and is shaped like a paperclip with 2 800 ft. straightaways and 2 virtually flat (12[SUP]o[/SUP]) turns. It's described as having 4 turns, when many drivers have said it's 2 drag strips connected with hairpin turns. I agree with the drivers.
This is a good place for a playoff race. From Fox, here are 8 of the best Martinsville moments, #1 is Kenseth drilling Logono which earned Kenseth a 2 race suspension. BTW - Kenseth and Harvick are featured in 5 of the 8.
This is also one of the few races using a two day schedule - 2 Cup practices on Saturday, with qualifying and the race on Sunday. Trucks are using the same two day schedule, only a day earlier - If weather cooperates. Rain showers are forecast for Saturday afternoon through early Sunday afternoon. From MRN, the schedule;

News and Notes
- A slim news week, but always diggin' deep. Goodyear is still working on a contract extension to stay as the exclusive tire supplier. What's wrong with Nascar these days. The Monster deal was very late, announced only 3 months before Daytona 2017 and it may not be a very long contract at that.
- Penalties - No post-race finding, they all had tight lugnuts.
- Bubba Wallace has finally come to terms with Petty to drive the #43 next year,
- TV ratings - 1.6 rating/2.77M viewers. Last year was 2.0, 2015 was 2.0 and 2014 2.5.

Tinknocker won his second iFL race of the season at Kansas. Congrats, TK. 
sportsman3 is still holding a nice lead over TB2448 in the overall standings.
Remember qualifying is only 3 hours before the race if you use that for setting your roster. Good luck.
