TRUEX JR. TAKES DOMINATE WIN IN CITIZEN SOLDIER 400
Martin Truex Jr. blew out the field in his win at Dover, beating Kyle Busch by 7.527 seconds, and leaving only five other cars on the lead lap. “We’re not messing around, I guess,” Truex Jr. said in Sunoco Victory Lane. “I don’t know-what else can you say? We’re here to get it done, and, golly I’m telling you just the best bunch of guys you could ever ask for. It’s just amazing to drive their race cars and do what we were able to do. I’m just ecstatic.” Kyle Larson was running well until lap 279, when he blew a tire and hit the wall hard. A couple laps later, his teammate Jamie McMurray blew his engine, ending both Ganassi cars hopes of advancing in The Chase. Tony Stewart and Chris Buescher didn’t advance either. Here are the Chase standings after Dover. Above the cutoff are the drivers who advanced to the Round of 12.
