Martin Truex Jr. held off Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin to win the NASCAR Richmond playoff race and punch his ticket to the next round.
Truex led a 1-2-3 finish for JGR — the sixth in its history — with Denny Hamlin finishing second and Christopher Bell third. Truex won despite being black-flagged on the first lap for beating Hamlin, the pole-sitter, to the start-finish line for the start of the race. "That was frustrating, I'm not going to lie, but I knew we had a good enough car to overcome it," Truex said about the penalty.More Related News
