Aaron's 312 - Talladega Superspeedway

Truex Tames Talladega
The scene seemed all too familiar; Junior put the No. 8 Chevrolet in victory lane at Talladega Superspeedway. But there was a small difference this time around, youngster Martin Truex Jr. was behind the wheel of the Chance 2 Chevy, taking the win in the Aaron’s 312. Truex outran his boss and mentor Dale Earnhardt Jr. to take his second career Busch series win. While Robby Gordon paced the field for 46 of the event’s 117 laps, Truex held the lead for 29 laps, including the final 23. Earnhardt crossed the finish line in second place, giving Chance 2 the top two finishing positions. Ron Hornaday finished in the third position, followed by rookie Kyle Busch and Jason Leffler in the top five.
