Another Triumph For Truex?

It probably would have broken every race fans heart if Martin Truex Jr. didn’t find a way to capture the win after dominating much of the Coca-Cola 600 last weekend in Charlotte. With that being said, and a spot in the Chase now in Truex’s possession, can he pull out another victory at the track that locked him into the Chase just one season ago?

Like Dale Earnhardt Jr., Truex doesn’t have that great of a record at the tricky triangle, but that hasn’t stopped the former DEI driver from having some success at the track. In fact, Truex has two top-three finishes in his last four races at Pocono. Not only that, Truex is also riding a wave of momentum that could land him in victory lane again on Sunday.
