Martin Truex Jr. Just Won't Go Away
The 2017 champion has a history of breaking slumps and following them up with greatness.
Martin Truex Jr. just won’t go away.
It had been 29 races since Truex last won a race before Sunday afternoon at Phoenix Raceway, but he’s been through much lengthier, of course.
"I don't look at those numbers," Truex said. "I don't really pay attention to it."
This one was particularly frustrating because the 2017 champion was in the mix every week, but just couldn’t close out for whatever reason.
"I don't know how many times we've been second, third, fourth, top-5 since we won last year at Martinsville," Truex said. "But it's been a bunch."
