Martin Truex Jr.: Will start at rear
Truex Jr. will start Sunday's race at Kentucky Speedway from the rear after failing inspection twice, Jim Utter of Motorsport.com reports.
Analysis:
Truex Jr. drew the ninth starting spot earlier this week. He will retain that spot officially for DFS purposes, but starting at the back will leave him quite a lot of work at a track where passing has been extremely difficult. Truex Jr. does have two wins at Kentucky Speedway, though.
