Last week, Martin Truex Jr. finally earned his first career NASCAR Cup Series win at Phoenix Raceway.
On Sunday, he’ll try to cross Atlanta Motor Speedway off the list. The 2017 Cup champion is winless at Atlanta in 22 Cup starts.
However, Truex has been strong there as of late, earning three consecutive top-five finishes and six consecutive top-10 finishes going into Sunday’s race. He posted his career-best Atlanta result in 2019, finishing second.
Truex starts Sunday’s race on the outside front row alongside Joe Gibbs Racing teammate and Cup points leader Denny Hamlin.
The second row features Team Penske’s Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski. Georgia’s Chase Elliott and Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kyle Larson are on the third row.
