The poorly kept secret of Martin Truex Jr.'s plans for 2019 is out of the bag. After months of speculation, Truex will take over the driver's seat of the No. 19 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing next season. He'll bring along crew chief Cole Pearn.

“It’s always good to come back to a track when you’re the defending race winner. Those are great memories, and that win will always be special to me. This weekend should be interesting because of all the changes to the track. It will still drive the same, but with the new start-finish line just before the dogleg, and the new pit road configuration, it will be a little different once we get into the race. I’m looking forward to the weekend, and doing what we can to put two good races together for the 6 team and finish the season strong.”
