Martin Truex Jr. Will Be Strong At Martinsville On Sunday
1 month agoMartin Truex Jr. is still winless on the 2024 Cup Series season, but that could change this weekend at Martinsville Speedway. The No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing team brought a rocket ship for Truex this weekend, as he was not only the fastest car in practice on Saturday, but also the fastest in qualifying, which means MTJ will lead the field to the green flag on Sunday. As far as long-run speed goes, Truex had the best 15- and 20-lap average during practice and ranked second-fastest in 25-lap average while posting the third-best 30-lap average. MTJ is a three-time Martinsville winner and has led 1,063 laps in his career at this race track. He should be able to add to that total on Sunday and compete for another win. As far as playability in DFS contests goes, Truex is relatively cheap on DraftKings ($9,300) and should be able to grab early dominator points. He's going to be a popular daily fantasy pick on Sunday and has a pretty high ceiling when it comes to scoring fantasy points.
