NASCAR’s Round of 8 is set as the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoffs roll on to Martinsville Speedway. The First Data 500 is the first of three races in NASCAR’s Round of 8 before the the top 4 drivers will advance to the Championship in Homestead-Miami in late November.
Chase Elliott earned the first spot in the Round of 8 with his win at Dover, then bagged another win on Sunday at Kansas to make it two wins in three races. And Aric Almirola stole a win at Talladega between Elliott’s two wins with a thrilling final-lap pass of Kurt Busch, who ran out of fuel.
