Martin Truex Jr. faces challenges in the NASCAR playoffs as he struggles to maintain his position in the championship race.
Truex won the regular season championship and entered the postseason as a real favorite for the championship. However, just about everything that could go wrong has gone wrong for the No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota . Finishes of 18th, 36th, and 19th in the opening round nearly saw him among the first four eliminated. However, the bonus points he had obtained during the first 26 races saved his title hopes. The second round wasn't much better with finishes of 17th, 18th, and 20th.
This is a new week and a new opportunity, and we’ve been in this position before. Let’s just go see what we can do tomorrow.” Pitroad has been a constant issue for the No. 19 team, but they've also faced plenty of bad luck beyond that. JGR made the decision to replace both the jackman and rear tire changer for the final two races of the year. Truex is hopeful that the change will have a positive impact on the team.
