Martin Truex Jr. Comes Down Hard on NASCAR Truck Series…

The NASCAR Truck Series championship race was a wreck fest by all accounts. The
race went into overtime with drivers unable to run a clean lap during the final
few laps of the race. Each time there was a restart some or the other driver
would wreck others in a bid to gain ground.

The aggressiveness was at an all-time high with even some of the championship
four contenders being dragged along into the wrecks. After the race had
concluded many in the NASCAR community including the drivers in the Cup series
were left with a sour taste, criticizing the drivers for the race and their
on-track behavior.

2017 Cup champion Martin Truex Jr.
/ also came down hard on the
Truck Series drivers, slamming them for their absurdity on the race track.

When asked if Truex Jr. watched the Truck Series championship decider race
last night, he stated that he did but he was not impressed. He then added,“That
is not professional auto racing, it’s a joke. They need to fix it.”

He was then asked what advice would he give if all the Truck Series drivers
were called into a meeting room. He stated,“Stop running through people every
day and every race. I mean you get racing a guy for the championship you don’t
just clean him out.”

Additionally, the JGR driver highlighted the restarts and some incidents that
occurred due to circumstances like drivers missing shifts.

He criticized the driving style of some of the drivers in the Truck Series,
describing it as reminiscent of“a bunch of kids that never had to pay anything
or fix anything that they drove in their entire life.”
