Truex won at Richmond earlier in the season, and he said
he knew his team brought another fast car after he won Stage 1.
“To sweep Richmond finally is pretty awesome, with as
much as we’ve led here,” Truex said. “When
things are rolling, they just are.
Hopefully we can keep it going.”
While Truex was dominant for most of the race, he did
have a spin while leading. Ricky
Stenhouse Jr. made contact with Truex, and he fell to third after spinning to bring
out the caution.
Truex said he was surprised he was able to recover so
quickly following the spin.
“Luckily we didn’t hit anything,” Truex said. “I just tried to keep it out of the fence and
get it spun around, and…we got going in a pretty good spot.”
Kyle Busch led a race-high 202 laps, but he failed to
hold off his teammate in the closing laps.
Busch said Truex’s car was just faster on the long
run.
“I don’t think we were as good as him all night long,”
Busch said. “When I was up front he could
keep the closest distance to me; that kind of worried me.”
