The Martinsville race weekend was a blast. The combination of great racing and a fantastic atmosphere gave fans one hell of a weekend at the track. However, controversy hit the Xfinity Series race in the end with Sammy Smith intentionally wrecking Taylor Gray and allowing the No. 21 of Austin Hill to slip by and score his second win of the 2025 season. Daniel Hemric scored his second NASCAR national series win in the Truck Series Friday night, his first in a truck. Sunday was Denny Hamlin’s day as he dominated the afternoon to tie himself 11th all-time with Rusty Wallace at 55 career wins.
