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.
