Thanks to William Byron's victory and Kyle Larson's points advantage, Hendrick has a 50% chance of winning the Cup championship.
Hendrick Motorsports made the most of its trip to Martinsville Speedway, with William Byron dominating the race, leading 304 laps and prevailing in a late-race duel over Ryan Blaney.
The victory clinched Byron’s place in the Championship 4, and Kyle Larson took the last available transfer spot, scoring more points than Christopher Bell to keep his championship hopes alive.
Byron and Larson join Denny Hamlin and Chase Briscoe as the drivers who will battle for the Bill France Cup at Phoenix Raceway.
Looking at the 2025 season as a whole, it is not surprising to see Byron or Larson reach the championship race, as both drivers have three wins apiece, and they have scored the most points among all Cup Series drivers.
Hendrick is no stranger to the championship round.
