Chase Elliott's jackman avoids a penalty for being over the wall too soon during the NASCAR Cup Series playoff race at Martinsville Speedway.

Chase Elliott needed to win to advance to the championship round and did so. In the process it led to Kevin Harvick being eliminated from title contention.

Elliott led 236 of 500 laps to score his first win at Martinsville and his first victory at a short track. Ryan Blaney finished second and was followed by Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski and Kurt Busch.

Among the other playoff contenders, Alex Bowman placed sixth, Denny Hamlin was 11th, Kevin Harvick was 17th and Martin Truex Jr. was 22nd.
