Can Martin Truex Jr. Snap Toyota's Drought At Atlanta?
9 months agoMartin Truex Jr. has qualified 12th for Sunday's Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, making him the highest starting Toyota on the slate. Despite having 34 Cup wins, Truex has never won at Atlanta. While he has finished in the top 10 in 46% of his starts at this track, his overall average finish of 15.6 suggests he struggles with closing these races out. Even last season, when MTJ looked absolutely dominant en route to his 2023 regular season title, he struggled at this course. In his two starts in Atlanta in 2023, the JGR star had finishes of 19th & 29th, well below his season average of 13.3. Considering that Toyota has not won at this track since 2013, and that Truex has had underwhelming results in the Peach State, we advise limiting your exposure to the No. 19 in DFS this weekend.
