Martin Truex: Blown Tire & DNF at Kansas
Truex Jr. suffered a blown tire and finished 36th in the Hollywood Casino 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway Sunday afternoon.
Analysis:
Trouble would strike Truex and the No. 19 Toyota team early in this 400-mile battle. While running fourth he'd report trouble and quickly fade to 15th-place by lap 4. Entering turn 3 on that lap the No. 19 Toyota would experience a flat rear tire and slam into the outside wall. The damage would be terminal and end Truex's day with a last-place finish. It was a tremendous blow to his championship hopes heading to Bristol next weekend.
