Truex Tames the Monster Mile Back-to-Back
This time it all seemed pretty easy, Martin Truex Jr., the defending series champion, cruised to victory in the NASCAR Busch Series MBNA RacePoints 200 at Dover International Speedway.

His other wins came at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City and Talladega Superspeedway. Truex now has five top five and seven top-10 finishes in 14 races this season. Six of those top-10’s, and three of the top fives, have come in the last six races. Rookie Reed Sorenson finished in the runner-up position and earned the Rookie-of-the-race title.
