CORNELIUS, N.C. — Bristol Motor Speedway is one of No. 56 NAPA AUTO PARTS Toyota driver Martin Truex Jr.’s best tracks. The Michael Waltrip Racing driver finished second and third in the last two NASCAR Sprint Cup races on the Tennessee short track. Truex along with MWR teammates Clint Bowyer and Brian Vickers all posted top-five finishes at Bristol in March.
Not only does Truex aim for a victory this weekend at Bristol, he’d also like to clinch MWR’s first berth in NASCAR’s Chase for the Sprint Cup. If the sixth-place Truex stretches his lead to 97 points over 11th place, he’ll get locked in. Truex and Bowyer are closing out the regular season in strong fashion. The duo have scored the fourth and fifth most points of all drivers in the last five races.
