Martin Truex Jr. Advances In Playoffs Despite Struggles Continuing
1 year agoThis season's regular season points champion, Martin Truex Jr., has struggled mightily in the Playoffs this year, but made it through to the Round of 8 after this weekend's race at Charlotte to keep his Championship hopes alive. After the race, Truex acknowledged that Stage points and bonus points from the regular season are the reason he advanced to the next round, and then added, "I didn't create the system. We used it to our advantage. That won't get us through the next [round]." Truex came home with a 20th-place finish at the Charlotte Roval and has not had a result better than 17th-place in this year's postseason. He will need to turn things up in the Round of 8 if he wants to make it through to the Championship race at Phoenix.
