Martin Truex Jr Another Dilemma Come Sunday at Atlanta
3 years agoMartin Truex Jr. has had an uneven season with three wins and some dominating performances (see Darlington with 248 laps led). Since then, a myriad of issues including some poor driving has led Truex to just one top-five in his last seven races. That includes a ninth in Wisconsin and an 11th for the Sunday Pocono race. Again, that is far from contending. The dilemma is how good Truex Jr. typically is on high-wear tire tracks. Furthermore, the No. 19 is one of the best on intermediate tracks like Atlanta (four wins in the last three years). The Joe Gibbs Racing driver could be a DFS risk but a prop bet reward on Sunday. Can Truex Jr. recapture the magic? The car build is there.
