For a driver that hadn’t been in a NASCAR Truck series race since 2006, Martin Truex Jr. wasted little time showcasing his talent on the new Bristol Dirt track.
It was a race that had to wait until Monday following flooding rains on Saturday and a completely unsuitable race track on Sunday, but Truex Jr. took the first stage on a one-lap shootout, passing Sheldon Creed for the lead and seldom looked back enroute to capturing the second stage and of course the overall win.
