Martin Truex Jr. not only won the 26-race regular season NASCAR Cup title (see video), he also enters the upcoming 10-race Cup playoffs with a commanding lead.
Truex, who finished 20th in Saturday night’s Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond Raceway after being involved in a last-lap crash with Denny Hamlin, enters the playoffs with a 20-point edge over Larson, who won the race.
At the opposite end of the playoff spectrum, Truex has more than a one-race worth of points over drivers ranked ninth through 16th in the updated playoff standings heading into Chicagoland.
