Weekend Preview: Truex stands in way of Busch streak - WJXT Jacksonville
Since his Pocono breakthrough, Truex has failed to lead a lap and claims just two top 10s in his last six races compared to his Richard Petty record-tying 14 top 10s in the first 15 races. Although he's had a downtick in performance lately, Truex returned to his early season form with a fourth-place showing at Indy last week. On Sunday, he will attempt to log the first track sweep of the season when he travels back to Pocono for the Windows 10 400 (1:30 p. m. ET on NBCSN). " Six other drivers - Denny Hamlin (2006), Jimmie Johnson (2004), Bobby Labonte (1999), Tim Richmond (1986), Bill Elliott (1985) and Bobby Allison (1982) have also won both Pocono races. "The toughest thing about Pocono is to find the right balance for all three corners," Truex said. "The three unique corners at Pocono are all different and the challenge is to figure out a way to make your car work in each of them. Conditions for this Pocono race will most likely be different, especially with the weather being hotter than in early June. In order to break out the brooms on Sunday, Truex will have to figure out a way to stop red-hot Kyle Busch, who has won the last three races and four of the last. Source: www.news4jax.com
