Martin Truex Jr. Will Start From Rear At Phoenix
5 years agoFor the second straight week, Martin Truex Jr. and the No. 19 team will be forced to start from the rear of the field on Sunday, following an engine change before qualifying on Saturday. Truex had two rough practice sessions on Friday, posting the 24th-fastest time in opening practice, and the 25th-fastest in final practice. The driver was able to recover from starting in the back last week in Fontana, rebounding to finish 14th, so his starting position at Phoenix doesn't indicate that the weekend is lost. However, with Truex being the second-most expensive salary in DFS this week, this news will likely result in less ownership.
