NASCAR Martinsville race winners and losers: Denny Hamlin dominates, Austin Cindric runs out of power
Denny Hamlin has done it again. Hamlin scored his sixth NASCAR Cup Series win at Martinsville Speedway and first since 2015, dominating the Cook Out 400 on Sunday to earn the 55th win of his career. While there were no big fights or arguments, some drivers had problems at one of the more exciting short tracks on the NASCAR schedule. Here are the winners and losers from the NASCAR Martinsville race. MARTINSVILLE RESULTS: NASCAR Martinsville results: Denny Hamlin is winner, plus full leaderboard HOW IT HAPPENED: NASCAR Cup Series race at Martinsville: Live updates, highlights as Denny Hamlin dominates Denny Hamlin led 274 laps and dominated Martinsville. He held off Christopher Bell with about 80 laps to go, but Hamlin was able to drive away from his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate and earn his sixth victory at Martinsville Speedway and 55th win in his NASCAR Cup Series career. A week after Hendrick Motorsports vice chairman Jeff Gordon addressed Chase Elliott's lackluster start to the season, Elliott was able to find a way to run toward the front all day, led 42 laps and finish a Chevrolet-best fourth place at Martinsville. Joe Gibbs Racing had a 1-2 finish with Denny Hamlin and Christopher Bell taking the top two spots and Chase Briscoe finishing ninth in the No. 19 car. Bubba Wallace finished third for the second week in a row and his third top 10 of the season. Hamlin dominating the race was another sign of Toyota's strength early this season, on top of Bell winning three races in a row earlier this season. William Byron had issues on pit road with a 23-second stop that gave him troubles early in the race and he ran toward the top 15 afterward. Byron finished 22nd in the first race he did not lead a lap this season. Austin Cindric had all kinds of issues in Martinsville. He had a battery issue early in the race then had to run the majority of the race with a malfunctioning cool suit underneath his firesuit, which made a tough race more exhausting for the Team Penske driver. He ended up 38th of 38 cars after exiting the race with further battery issues inside the final 20 laps. Josh Berry led 40 laps in the opening stage but had issues with the battery on the No. 21 Wood Brothers Racing Ford toward the middle of the race and found himself a lap down throughout most of the race. Berry ended the day 33rd but has the Las Vegas win to fall back on.

Jeff Gordon addresses Chase Elliott's 'frustrating' start to 2025 NASCAR season
Chase Elliott has dealt with a frustrating beginning to the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, by his standard. The Hendrick Motorsports driver has not recorded a win in 2025 and has watched two of his teammates, William Byron and Kyle Larson, earn victories with another teammate Alex Bowman in contention for a win last week at Homestead-Miami Speedway before Larson sped by for the victory. Byron (244), Larson (208) and Bowman (205) occupy the top three spots in the NASCAR Cup Series standings. Elliott (181) is sixth. Jeff Gordon, four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and current vice Chairman of Hendrick Motorsports, said in a postrace press conference at Homestead that Elliott's early-season frustration can stem from a strong offseason and a solid preseason exhibition victory at The Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium. "I feel like they came into the season with a lot of momentum as well and started strong, meaning just you could just sense that they've got a lot of confidence and coming to the racetrack ready to go." Gordon said. "The last couple of weeks probably were a little bit frustrating for them." "They're a really solid team," Gordon continued. "Just a lot of depth and a lot of belief in one another. You know, you've got to get through the rocky times." Gordon added that when a team is struggling similar to the No. 9 team, led by crew chief Alan Gustafson, the tendency is to measure up to what other teams are doing. So far this season, they're measuring against teammates. "So, if you're not achieving what you want to achieve, then you know you've got to go to work, and you know that you're not meeting expectations," Gordon said. "(Gustafson and Elliott) have high expectations. It's not unusual for them to get down a little bit on, 'Hey, this isn't good enough,' but I've seen them react really well and positively to that too."

His only top five finish was a season-best fourth place at the NASCAR COTA race after he was spun out on the first corner of the first lap. Elliott won the preseason Busch Light Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium, but that race was an exhibition. In his career, Elliott has 19 wins, 105 top 5 and 174 top 10 finishes in his career.
