Martin Truex Jr. Is Risky Proposition At Talladega Superspeedway
4 years agoMartin Truex Jr. is the only two-time winner this year on the NASCAR Cup Series. Since the Daytona swing, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver has hung around in contention pretty much every race aside from Bristol when he cut a tire late. However, Talladega has proven to be a rough track. Truex Jr. has just eight top-ten finishes in 32 laps and none since 2015. That includes two starts from the pole. The No. 19 will be heavily tested on the tri-oval and though he could hang around in contention, that will take a huge effort on Sunday.
