Chase Elliott has dealt with a frustrating start to the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season. Jeff Gordon addressed those frustrations last week.

The jack was about to drop Chase Elliott’s car last weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway, the signal for him to fire out of his pit stall. But Elliott saw the crew in the box ahead still working on the right side of that car.

Driving the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, Hamlin ended a 19-race winless streak, per NBC Sports. This victory marks his first at Martinsville since March 29, 2015, and extends his lead as the active driver with the most wins at the track with six.

Chase Elliot and his team are expected to bounce back after a lackluster 2025 NASCAR Cup Series campaign so far.

Here's the updated NASCAR Cup Series points standings: 1. William Byron — 259 points (1 win, 6 playoff points) 2. Kyle Larson — -17 behind leader (1 win, 7 playoff points) 4. Christopher Bell — -35 (3 wins, 16 playoff points) 6. Denny Hamlin — -42 (1 win, 7 playoff points) 8. Bubba Wallace — -51 (1 playoff point)

He’s the Martinsville master, so second to him is not that bad. I felt really bad at the end of the run. Qualifying really good was a big part of our success this weekend. Hopefully we can come back better in the fall and have a nice solid day.

What a start to the NASCAR weekend at Martinsville. Known for producing some of the most intense races in history, the short track has yet again delivered with thrilling Truck and Xfinity races this year.
