WOW! What a heck of a race that was on Sunday night. It’s Monday night as of the writing of this and I am still just amped up from the race and that crazy four-wide five-lap sprint to the finish was some of the best racing all year. It was a war of attrition to be certain especially with the tire issues that were striking with frequency throughout the race not to mention the regular crashes that seemed to involve half the field at one point or another. Ultimately, Martin Truex Jr. wound up driving away with the second Coca-Cola 600 win of his career despite looking like he was in trouble in the first 40 laps of the race.
