NASCAR Martinsville predictions 2025: Expert picks for Cup Series race
The NASCAR Cup Series returns to Martinsville Speedway for the first of two race weekends in 2025. Sunday's Cook Out 400 is the first short-track race of the 2025 regular season, and the close-quarters racing usually wears out nerves by the end of the 400-lap event. Last week, Kyle Larson rode the outside lane in late-race charge to pass Alex Bowman for the lead and win at Homestead. Here are The Tennessean's expert picks for Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Martinsville: Hamlin was in position to win last week before finishing fifth, which was his third top 10 finish in six races this season. His winless streak, which stretches back to April of 2024, ends Sunday. Not that Martinsville is like Bowman Gray, but Elliott was very strong in the Clash on the quarter-mile track and has a solid track record at Martinsville. Christopher Bell always finds a way to make a splash at Martinsville. Bell will get the job done and go back to his winning ways this weekend. Briscoe had a top-five finish last week at Homestead-Miami giving his race team much-needed momentum entering Martinsville. Briscoe has five top-10 finishes at Martinsville. He was 10th in last year's spring race. This article originally appeared on Nashville Tennessean: NASCAR Martinsville predictions 2025: Expert picks for Cup Series race

NASCAR Homestead predictions 2025: Expert picks for Cup Series race
The NASCAR Cup Series returns to Homestead-Miami Speedway earlier than usual with Sunday's Straight Talk Wireless 400. Last week, Josh Berry surprised with his first career Cup win at Las Vegas. What a positive for Berry and the Wood Brothers Racing team to have a playoff spot locked up with months to go in the regular season. Six months ago, Tyler Reddick won at Homestead in the finish of the season. Reddick charged around Ryan Blaney on the outside in the final corner to get the victory. Here are The Tennessean's expert picks for Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Homestead: CUP WINNER: What Josh Berry said about his underdog win, Sterling Marlin and reaction around NASCAR Bell will become only the third driver in history to win four of the first six NASCAR Cup Series races in a season joining Bill Elliott (1992) and Dale Earnhardt (1987). Bell traditionally runs well at Homestead making him an easy favorite. Yeah, this will surprise some. But Allmendinger has three finishes in the top-8, including two top-5s, in three races with Kaulig at Homestead-Miami. And coming off an 8th-place finish at Las Vegas, things are trending up for the No. 16 team. Blaney had a close call at Homestead last year, getting passed on the final lap by Tyler Reddick. This trip to Miami will be the beginning of a turnaround for a struggling No. 12 team. The Daytona 500 winner wins again in Florida. He's had a top-five finish at Homestead since 2022. This season, he's had four top-five finishes in five races. There is no reason to believe he won't finish in the top-10.
