“It was complete bull---- chaos,” Denny Hamlin growled in a TV interview after the race. Elliott, who had reentered the race, drove up next to Hamlin’s car and cut him off. Busch now leads Truex, with Keselowski third, but the race for the fourth spot in the finals is tight. But in 15 minutes at Martinsville, you could really see just how much this race meant to the drivers, and that has not always been apparent. Maybe NASCAR can’t replicate the finish at Martinsville, but it can use it to sell the best aspect of the series: complete chaos.
