Since Phoenix isn't really one of Martin Truex Jr.'s best tracks while Martinsville is, Sunday likely marked Truex's last chance to win in the NASCAR Cup Series. Although he won the pole and led the first 41 laps of the race, he sped on his first pit stop before later being involved in a crash and then being trapped a lap down when a caution came out after he had pitted. All these incidents resulted in a 24th-place finish for Truex in yet another example of the No. 19 team snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Truex has still had a solid season, but the combination of bad luck and a string of sloppy errors both from Truex and his team have led to results that did not really accurately reflect his performances.--Sean Wrona - RotoBallerRead More News
