NASCAR playoffs at Martinsville results: William Byron earns walk-off win to make the Championship 4
Byron made his move with 43 laps to go, moving Blaney off of the bottom groove in turn 1 to take the lead. But when a spin by Carson Hocevar brought out the caution with less than 20 laps to go, Byron and his crew had to execute both on their final pit stop and the final restart. They did so, earning the right to try and become a championship team.
Ryan Blaney almost did it again. Needing a Round of 8 walk-off victory for the third consecutive NASCAR Cup Series season, Blaney stormed from qualifying 31st to the front of the field before ultimately falling one spot shy of a Championship 4 spot Sunday at Martinsville Speedway.
