Martin Truex Jr. Has A Big Day In Atlanta
5 years agoMake it three straight top-five finishes at Atlanta Motor Speedway for Joe Gibbs Racing's Martin Truex Jr., who crossed the finish line third in Sunday's Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500. Truex managed to lead 65 laps through the course of the race, including the final lap of the first- and second-race stages. This is especially noteworthy, as they were the first two stage victories of the year for a driver who had become synonymous with stage racing since NASCAR adopted the format. The No. 19 team will look to build off this return to form and earn their first win of the year when the Cup Series returns to Martinsville Speedway on Wednesday night.
