Truex Pulls Away to Win in Mexico City
Viva la Mexico! Viva la victory lane for Martin Truex Jr. Truex beat out the locals and road-course ringers from the states to win the inaugural Telcel Motorola 200 presented by Banamex at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, the first NASCAR sanctioned points race ever held on foreign soil. Truex, the defending Busch Series champion, dominated the historic event leading the most laps of the race, pacing the field three times for a total of 45 of the race’s 80 laps and pulling away to win by a whopping margin of 6.256 seconds over Kevin Harvick in second place. The win for Truex was the seventh of his career and comes in only his 52nd Busch Series start. Pole-sitter, and Mexico City native, Jorge Goeters led the first 24 laps until Truex took the lead at lap 25. Harvick finished in the runner-up position for the third consecutive Busch race and continues to hang on to the series points lead. Rookie Carl Edwards finished in the third position, while Shane Hmiel and Boris Said rounded out the top five in the finishing order. Adrian Fernadez, in his first ever NASCAR Busch Series start, was the highest finishing Mexican driver with a 10th-place finish.
