Martin Truex Jr.: Fifth-Place at Talladega

Truex Jr. finished fifth in the GEICO 500 NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway Sunday afternoon.

Analysis:

Truex bucked a long bad luck streak at Talladega and turned in a great performance Sunday in the GEICO 500. He started on the outside pole and raced among the Top 5 most of the event. The Joe Gibbs Racing star would stay out of the accidents and that would be the difference this Sunday afternoon. Truex came through the last lap maelstrom unscathed and crossed the finish line a brilliant fifth-place. It was his second Top 5 of the season and snapped a 12-race Talladega Top-10 drought for Truex.
