Martin Truex Jr., driving the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 19 Toyota Camry, ran the fastest lap in the final round of qualifying on Saturday and will start from the lead position Sunday.
Only four races remain in the NASCAR Cup Series postseason, including the 4EVER 400 presented by Mobil 1 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday afternoon.
Said Marin Truex after qualifying first for Sunday's Homestead, Florida, race: 'I actually thought we could have been a little bit better there. You never know here. Scuff tires are always a challenge. Pretty good to get that pole for Toyota and a great start for us as well.' Truex heads into the weekend in third place among the eight drivers still in contention for the Cup Series championship.
“Based on my past experience here I think we are close enough to be good later in the day when the track gets slick. With these cars, you just never know what direction it could go. It can be a complete curveball.” Larson became the first driver to lock into NASCAR’s title-deciding finale in the opening playoff race of the round of eight, winning at Las Vegas last week.
