Chris Gabehart, Denny Hamlin’s crew chief, is extremely excited to see Martinsville Speedway this weekend. Hamlin is currently below the playoff cutline and needs a strong performance if he wants to race for a championship next weekend. Despite being in a challenging position, Gabehart sees Martinsville as a great opportunity for their team and driver. They have been strong at this track in recent races, leading laps and earning points. While they haven’t won at Martinsville together yet, Hamlin has had success there in the past with five victories and over 2,000 laps led. Although a championship has eluded Hamlin so far, both Gabehart and the team believe they are worthy of it and are focused on winning one race at a time.
