Martin Truex Jr. survived an early brush with the outside wall and a crazy restart with five laps left to go, to win the Coke 600.
On a race that featured 16 cautions, Truex made a four-wide pass to the inside coming off Turn 2 with 4 to go that sealed the win for him. This is Truex's 3rd win on the season and it seems that he's starting to show his dominance on the 1.5 tracks again. It seemed like Kyle Busch might carry the mail in this race, but he got pinned in the back late in the race after his brother Kurt clipped him when he wrecked, and he never recovered completely. Chase Elliott also had a fast car, but his car seemed to tighten up as the night went on.
The boys head to Pocono this weekend for a triangle race. Let's see if the dominance from the 19, 18, and 2 continue, or if someone else is going to step up and win some more races!
