Prior to the Cup race on Sunday, it was announced that up-to-that-point Hendrick Motorsports had led over an impressive 10,000 laps at historic Martinsville Speedway. Chase Elliott tacked on another 84, including the most important one: the last one, to take the win. Other numbers to ponder about the race are that there were exactly 100 commercials shown, 50 traditional and 50 side-by-side.
