At Talladega last week we got to see another JGR driver lock their spot in the Championship 4 as Chase Briscoe outlasted the pack and ended up in Victory Lane. Up next is the last chance to get into the Championship 4, Martinsville, where JGR won in the Spring. Down below you will find different statistics for active drivers and Next Gen races of the NASCAR Cup series here at Martinsville Speedway ranging from Most Wins to Best Average Finishes by starting position in the Next Gen era. So read and enjoy these fun fact track stats!
In this post you will only find active and Next Gen stats, if you are looking for all-time stats check out my previous article All-Time Cup Track Stats: Martinsville.
Active means any driver who started a race in the 2025 Cup Series season.
