Eager to maintain his momentum, Martin Truex Jr. heads to Pocono riding off of a sixth place finish at the Best Buy 400 benefiting Student Clubs for Autism Speaks at Dover International Speedway. Successful tests prior to the Dover event are sustaining Truex’s aspirations of a victorious finish.

"It's too early to say that things have turned around for us, but I can just tell that things are starting to click," said Truex. "We finished sixth at Dover and we had one of the fastest cars at the test in Pocono.

"We made a strong run in the points last summer and this season has that same type of feeling. We've been bringing good cars to the track but we had been getting hit by bad luck. Hopefully, that's all behind us."

With an average finish of 14.8 at Pocono Raceway, Truex prepares for Sunday’s Pocono 500 excited to raise that statistic.

Truex, who laid down a third place finish last year at Pocono, says he likes the distinctive layout of Pocono Raceway.

"Each corner is so distinct, so that makes it harder to figure out," explained Truex. "It's not really an oval (course) and it's not a road course. It poses its own challenges for the drivers and the crew chiefs in determining the best set-ups for the cars. We always seem to run good there, so I guess we've been able to figure the place out somewhat."
