Martin Truex Jr. won the Goodyear 400 from Darlington Raceway on Sunday afternoon.
Truex was dominant on Sunday, and won both stages
while leading a race-high 248 laps.
After the victory, Truex commented on how he became
the first stage winner to finally take the checkered flag at Darlington.
“We’ve won a bunch of stages here the last couple of
years; always lady luck got us,” Truex said.
“Really proud of everybody on this Auto Owner’s Camry.”

Hamlin said the heavy traffic at the end of the race
allowed Larson to challenge for the lead.
“I knew the car would do what I wanted it to do, and I
just had to manage those long runs,” Truex said. “It was really loose that last run, and I was
nervous with the 5 catching us. We got
mired in some traffic there.”
Larson said he was surprised he was able to challenge
at the end of the race with how bad his car handled all afternoon.
“Felt like we were not very good all day, but I passed
a lot of cars and found myself towards the front,” Larson said. “I was surprised I was able to get to him…he
was just a little better than I was on the long run.”
“Fun to come here to Darlington with low downforce and
during the day.”
