Hosts: Carolyn Manno in the Stamford Studio. Dale Jarrett in the Charlotte Studio. Jeff Burton & Parker Kligerman at the track in Martinsville.

With the Monster Energy Cup Series Playoff Round of 8 beginning this weekend at Martinsville, some title contenders are favorites while others are dark horses. But all of them have a legit chance of winning and claiming the first ticket to the Championship race. DJ, Jeff and Parker will handicap a formidable Playoff field.

Put more than 3 dozen cars on a half-mile track and you're bound to see tempers boil over. It's happened a few times in recent years at Martinsville, including last year with the dustup between Chase Elliott and Denny Hamlin. We'll relive some of the biggest drama that's been produced at this tiny 'Paperclip.'

Winners at Martinsville receive a grandfather clock for their efforts. Those clocks do more than tell time; they’re reminders of the importance of making the most of time. In a special essay, Nate Ryan explains why, for the 8 Playoff contenders, time is truly of the essence.

And we’ll take one last look – and listen – to last weekend’s wild finish that shook up the playoff picture in Scan All Talladega.
