A motivated MartinTruex_Jr was determined to put a frustrating 2022 season behind him, and he did just that with an impressive victory in TheClash: NASCAR
ran competitively last season, he went winless in the NASCAR Cup Series for the first time since 2014 and failed to qualify for the playoffs.
“Just so many times that we felt like we were doing the right things and probably should have won a couple races, and they got away from us. That was very, very frustrating. Knowing that we were doing everything we needed to do to win, it sucked. “I think we learned a lot last year. We had races where we had a lot of speed and things didn’t go right, but we also had races where we made poor decisions, and I think we learned a lot. You saw when we get it right, this is what we’re capable of.”
“To come back this year and be first in practice, I was really honestly nervous night. I went to bed thinking was going to suck. It was going to be a long day because it’s going to be hard to pass and we were starting sixth in our heat on the outside.
