Tyler Reddick said if he won Martinsville, it would be the end of the world, since he struggles at that track. The driver who won four of the first six Cup races didn’t win Martinsville. Instead, the sport’s most popular driver did. That moved Chase Elliott up in the standings. But Reddick stayed put and that’s at No. 1. Here are my power rankings as the series heads into an off weekend for Easter. The next event will be the second race of a two-race, short-track swing with the series heading to Bristol Motor Speedway. Dropped out: Bubba Wallace (Last Week: 7) On the verge: Chase Briscoe, Chris Buescher, Ryan Preece, Daniel Suarez, Shane van Gisbergen, Bubba Wallace 10. Brad Keselowski (Last Week: 9)RFK Racing No. 6 Ford Keselowski finished a little bit disappointing 13th in his 600th start. But when starting 23rd, finishing in 13th isn’t a bad day for the 2012 Cup champion. 9. Austin Cindric (Last Week: Not Ranked)Team Penske No. 2 Ford Cindric’s eighth-place finish gave him his second consecutive top-10. And not only did the Penske driver finish in the top 10, he was top 10 in both stages. He has moved up to 18th in the standings after a rough start to the year. 8. Kyle Larson (Last Week: 10)Hendrick Motorsports No. 5 Chevrolet Larson’s feast-or-famine season continued with a not-so-feast-or-famine finish, as his ninth-place finish at Martinsville was somewhat pedestrian for him. Not great but it was a relatively good day for the defending series champion that saw three Hendrick drivers finish in the top 10. Larson is ninth in the standings. 7. Christopher Bell (Last Week: 5)Joe Gibbs Racing No. 20 Toyota Bell didn’t finish in the top 10 in the stages but delivered a seventh-place finish. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver now has six top-10 finishes (with one win) in 13 starts at Martinsville. He sits seventh in the standings. 6. William Byron (Last Week: 6)Hendrick Motorsports No. 24 Chevrolet Byron qualified on the front row and it appeared this could be his day to have a breakout 2026 performance. Instead, it was just a solid day with a fifth-place finish for the Hendrick driver. He’s now fifth in the standings and still looking for his first 2026 victory. 5. Ty Gibbs (Last Week: 4)Joe Gibbs Racing No. 54 Toyota Earning his third fourth-place finish in the last five races (and with finishes of fifth and sixth in the other two), Gibbs is having a season where he is knocking on the door to earn his first win. Considering he now has 130 career Cup starts, he could be forgiven if he is getting impatient. 4. Chase Elliott (Last Week: 8)Hendrick Motorsports No. 9 Chevrolet What a big win Martinsville was for Elliott and his team as they made their argument that the 2020 Cup champion will be a contender this year. Going back to Martinsville in October in the next-to-last race of the season should be good for the Hendrick driver. 3. Ryan Blaney (Last Week: 2)Team Penske No. 12 Ford Blaney was battling Denny Hamlin when Hamlin pinched him into the wall, leaving Blaney with a bit of damage and having him fight for a sixth-place finish. The 2023 Cup champion continues to be Penske’s most consistent driver. 2. Denny Hamlin (Last Week: 3)Joe Gibbs Racing No. 11 Toyota Hamlin saw a potential Martinsville slip through his hands, thanks to a loose wheel and Elliott capitalizing on strategy. The winner of 61 Cup races knows that sometimes it’s just the way it goes. The JGR driver finished second. 1. Tyler Reddick (Last Week: 1)23XI Racing No. 45 Toyota Reddick was 15th at Martinsville but he’s still No. 1 here. It will take another stellar performance by Hamlin or Elliott or Blaney and a bad day at Bristol to knock Reddick off the top spot, as the 23XI driver is having a great start to the year.Latest Sports News from FOX Sports

Even though Joseph Duggar was arrested near his home in Tontitown, Arkansas earlier this month, the most serious charges against him came out of Bay County, Florida.
Now, the disgraced former reality star has been extradited to Panama City Beach, where he will finally be arraigned.
The transfer appears to have taken place early this morning, and Joseph was booked into the Bay County Jail at 7:32 am.
The new state and facility also meant a new mugshot for Joseph.
As in the first one, he seems oddly at peace with his situation. Which is surprising, as the lewd and lascivious conduct charges alone carry a maximum sentence of 25 years.
Joseph is also facing child endangerment and false imprisonment charges in Arkansas.
His wife, Kendra Duggar, was also arrested on those charges, but she was allowed to make bail.
In a recording of a phone call between the spouses, Kendra informed her imprisoned husband that she had retained a lawyer, but she added that Joseph would be on his own in terms of retaining legal counsel.
“I’ve been talking to Travis,” Kendra told Joseph March 20, according to a transcript published by People.
“I’ve got him as my attorney right now.
Joseph remarked that he “didn’t know who exactly we settled with, but that’s good,” leading Kendra to clarify that the attorney’s service was retained for her own case, not his.
“Well, it’s not for you, it’s only for me,” she said, adding that family and friends had told her that she “needed somebody for the case that we’ve got going with the kids and stuff.”
Elsewhere on the same call, Joseph remarked that he had been “spending a lot of time reading the Bible” during his time in jail.
“I’m in the cell 23 hours of the day. It’s like an 8-by-10 area,” he explained, adding:
“I’ve been able to read a lot actually and resting some, but I’m not sleeping great through the night.”
Joseph told Kendra that it was “good to hear your voice,” to which she responded, “It’s good to hear from you.”
Needless to say, she was sympathetic, but not exactly overflowing with compassion for her disgraced husband.
“Right now, they are focused on loving their family and helping Kendra and her children during this difficult time,” a spokesperson for the Duggars told Us Weekly March 30.
“They are praying for the victim. They ask for privacy and appreciate the kind words and prayers offered by so many.”
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Maren Wade is a Las Vegas performer.
Taylor Swift is a world-traveled singer, perhaps the most successful musician on the planet.
But did The Life of a Showgirl infringe upon Wade’s existing trademark?
Swift has a reputation for being litigious about her trademarks. Now, the tables are turned.
‘The Life of a Showgirl’ sounds a whole lot like something else (by coincidence)
On Monday, March 30, singer and columnist Maren Wade filed a lawsuit against Swift.
She alleges that her newspaper column-turned show, Confessions of a Showgirl, has too many similarities to The Life of a Showgirl.
And Confessions came first.
NBC News reports that the complaint was filed in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California
“Both share the same structure, the same dominant phrase, and the same overall commercial impression,” the filing accuses.
“Both are used in overlapping markets and are directed at the same consumers,” the filing then claims.
“Maren spent more than a decade building CONFESSIONS OF A SHOWGIRL,” her legal team argues.
“She registered it,” the filing affirms. “She earned it.”
“When Taylor Swift’s team applied to register THE LIFE OF A SHOWGIRL, the Trademark Office refused,” the filing then asserts.
Allegedly, this is due to the Trademark Office “finding Swift’s mark confusingly similar” to Wade’s.
‘Confessions of a Showgirl’ has been around for a dozen years
In 2014, Wade launched her weekly column about life in the entertainment industry.
Since then, her Las Vegas Weekly column has taken on new forms: a podcast and a life cabaret show.
(Yes, there’s a short clip below.)
She trademarked her Confessions of a Showgirl branding in 2015.
According to the lawsuit, the Patent and Trademark Office cautioned Swift’s team that The Life of a Showgirl might be confused with an existing trademark. Seemingly, the warning went unheeded.
Swift is one of the planet’s biggest stars in any medium.
As such, Wade’s team argues, her “overwhelming commercial presence” is more than up to the task of diluting or overshadowing Wade’s preexisting brand.
To be blunt, someone seeing Wade’s trademark might simply assume that it is a spoof on Swift’s album and song.
“We have great respect for Swift’s talent and success, but trademark law exists to ensure that creators at all levels can protect what they’ve built,” the filing reads. “That’s what this case is about.”
The lawsuit seeks to have Swift stop using The Life of a Showgirl as a brand on products and services … and to turn over all profits from that branding over to Wade.
It feels like this will either be over quickly or drag on forever
Wade is asking for a jury trial. She is also seeking further monetary compensation.
Not being legal scholars or trademark experts, we honestly cannot say what the end result of this lawsuit is.
It is possible that Wade would accept a settlement that is less than the certainly many millions that Swift has raked in under the The Life of a Showgirl brand.
Just the same, it is also possible that this could be a grueling legal battle that lasts for years.
One thing that we do know is that Wade appears to be a Swiftie. She’s posted about her fondness for Swift for years. So she’s not coming at this as a hater.
