Notes of Interest

● Where We Stand: The New Jersey native sits fourth in the driver standings with 572 points, 48 behind leader Kyle Larson. All four Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) entries are currently inside the top-11 in the standings, with Denny Hamlin third, Christopher Bell sixth and Ty Gibbs 11th as the series heads to the outskirts of Music City this weekend.

● The Cup Series returns to Nashville (Tenn.) Superspeedway for the fourth Cup Series race on the concrete oval. While Truex had not fared well in his first two Cup Series starts there, he turned it around in 2023 as he had a shot at the win before eventually bringing home a solid runner-up finish.

● Truex first competed at Nashville all the way back in 2003 in what is now called the NASCAR Xfinity Series. In five Xfinity Series starts there from 2003 to 2005, Truex claimed two poles and two top-five finishes.

● Looking for 35: Truex’s win at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon last July was his most recent Cup Series win, the 34th of his career, tying him with 2004 champion Kurt Busch for 25th on the all-time Cup Series win list.

● Ahead at this Stage: Truex has accumulated 63 stage wins since the beginning of the stage era in 2017. He is the only driver with 10 or more stage sweeps, with his latest sweep coming at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn last August. Truex scored his second stage win of the season at Dover (Del.) Motor Speedway in April, leading the field across the line at the end of Stage 1.

Martin Truex Jr., Driver of the No. 19 Bass Pro Shops Toyota Camry XSE

When you look back at Nashville last year, what do you remember?

“It was a good race. We had a really strong car at times, and at times I just remember being really free and losing the lead and getting the car better at the end and tracking down Ross (Chastain), and I just couldn’t find a way around him. So that was a little bit of a frustrating race because I felt like we had the car to beat – we just didn’t put it all together at the right time. I’m looking forward to going back. It is a fun track. It has been really good the last few years and hoping we can make it even better and get our Bass Pro Shops Camry to victory lane there.”

You had a strong race there in 2022, as well, but didn’t get the finish you deserved. What do you remember about that day?

“Nashville is really interesting. We had a really strong car that year. Led a bunch and won both Stage 1 and Stage 2 and was in really good shape. The rain delay came, the track cooled off and changed a lot and we went from us and the 11 (Denny Hamlin) as the two cars to beat to all of a sudden five or more guys right there with us. I don’t remember exactly how we got shuffled out of the lead but I know it had something to do with the pit cycle and pit stops. Once you lose the lead, you lose the advantage, and some other guys got faster as it cooled off when it was so much later at night and we just couldn’t get back to the front. I feel like we’ve been bringing some really good cars to the track and would expect us to be strong at Nashville this weekend. Looking forward to getting back there with our Bass Pro Shops Toyota Camry XSE and hope to be able to get one more spot than we did last year.”

Have you heard from anyone this week that was really special to you since you announced you will be retiring at the end of the year?

“I’ve heard from a lot of people. This week was really kind of humbling to see the comments and it means so much to me just to hear what people think. A lot of people that I really respect and look up to have sent messages or said something in interviews, just whatever. It is really special to know that you’ve represented yourself well, your family well, your teams – all of the people I’ve worked with over the years. Really, really humbling to see that. I’m sure there will be more down the line, but it means a lot. It’s really special. It reminds you of how lucky we are to be able to do this.”

Do you anticipate feeling any different the second half of the season in your final year?

“I’m not going to approach it any differently. I don’t expect my team to, either. I don’t think they will. I think it’s business as usual as far as when we’re at the track. But, I don’t know. I guess it will feel different knowing that I’ll be going to tracks for the last time or whatever in a Cup car now. I’m not sure what it’s going to be like, but I’m going to try to enjoy it. We have our friends at Bass Pro Shops with us this weekend and would like to get them to victory lane during our last year. That will be the goal every week for us.”

CLUB QUOTES

John Hunter Nemechek, Driver of the No. 42 Massey Motor Freight Toyota Camry XSE:

“Nashville [Superspeedway] is a concrete intermediate racetrack that is different from anywhere else we go. It’s a cool venue with being close to the city and being in a different market that we get to cover. I have had decent results here the past couple years but it’s still a place I need to learn and get better at.”

Ben Beshore, Crew chief of the No. 42 Massey Motor Freight Toyota Camry XSE:

“The team is very professional by doing their job every week putting the best car out there that they can – sometimes the circumstances don’t work out but fortunately last weekend at New Hampshire they did so hopefully we can build that momentum into Nashville and moving forward and build off a good run. Obviously an odd set of circumstances at New Hampshire at the end but that fight to get from two laps down and drive up to a top-10 the last 70 laps, that take a special group to do that – real proud of everyone on the team and putting in that effort and not giving up after the rain delay and sticking with it and making the best out of the day.”

Erik Jones, Driver of the No. 43 Family Dollar Toyota Camry XSE:

“Nashville has been fun. This will be year four since we’ve [NASCAR Cup Series] gone back, and I’ve really enjoyed the race there every year. The track has widened out quite a bit from what it used to be. We’ve also run well there the last few years – I think we finished eighth last summer and hopefully we can go back and have a similar weekend and go run up towards the top-10. Excited to get there, it’s been a great track, but also a great crowd and a great area for us to race in the last four years.”

Dave Elenz, Crew chief of the No. 43 Family Dollar Toyota Camry XSE:

“We had a good car last year [at Nashville Superspeedway]; we know what it takes to get around there and hopefully some of the efforts we put forth will pay off for Nashville as well…Nashville is a little bit similar to Dover, but it’s its own racetrack, so the tires apply more than anything over to Nashville so we can reuse some of that stuff that we did at Dover which we felt we had a good car there, as well. Between that and our past history, hopefully we can come up with a good set up for there.”

Nashville Superspeedway Competition Notes

 MOORESVILLE, N.C. (June 26, 2024) – Todd Gilliland and the No. 38 team return to the Volunteer State for the 300-lap event at the Nashville Superspeedway.

After a strong showing at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Gilliland has scored his seventh consecutive Top-20 finish, five of which were in the Top-15. This is now the longest run of Top-20 finishes ever scored by a Front Row Motorsports driver and is tied for the third longest streak of anyone in the NASCAR Cup Series, as of New Hampshire.

Gilliland will bring a new look to his gener8tor Ford Mustang Dark Horse to Music City, showcasing a splattered paint livery for the weekend.

Practice and qualifying for the NASCAR Cup Series will take place Saturday, June 29th at 2:00 pm ET. Sunday’s 400-mile race is scheduled for 3:30 pm ET and will be televised live on NBC. Fans can also listen in on the action from the Performance Racing Network and Sirius XM channel 90.

DRIVER TODD GILLILAND:

“I’m excited for this weekend. Ryan (Bergenty), the road crew, and the men and women back at the shop have been working hard to continue to bring speed each week. It’s nice to run well and give those people something to be proud of. Our expectation is to run up front and close the points gap, I think we can make some big gains this weekend.”

“It’s cool to see gener8tor mix up their paint scheme, I really like how it all fades together and looks like splattered paint. They have taken full advantage of the partnership and really played into it. This is a big weekend for them and Carl Ruedebusch, so hopefully I can give them a good showing.”

CREW CHIEF RYAN BERGENTY:

“We’re ready for Nashville. Our finishes have been nice, but there is still a lot left to accomplish. We want a win and I think with how we’ve been running, a win is in our future. Hopefully we can make that happen this weekend.”

• NCS/NXS/NCTS: Nashville Superspeedway – June 28-30
• ARCA: Berlin Raceway – June 29
• NHRA: Summit Motorsports Park – June 28-30

PLANO, Texas (June 26, 2024) – NASCAR’s three national series head to Nashville Superspeedway this weekend with the Truck Series’ return after three weeks off.

The NHRA Mission Foods Racing Series is back in the Midwest and Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio, as they hit their halfway point of the 2024 season.

NASCAR National Series – NCS | NXS | NCTS

Points standings continue to shake up … Following Sunday’s wild race at New Hampshire, the Cup Series points standings shifted across the board, with Toyota drivers making gains as the season gets closer to the Playoffs. Martin Truex Jr. (fourth) and Tyler Reddick (fifth) each moved up one spot following top-10 finishes on Sunday, and Christopher Bell (sixth) climbed two positions following his dominant win. Bell also climbed to second in the Playoff points standings following a Stage 2 victory and the race win. Denny Hamlin remains the lead Toyota Camry XSE in the third position.

Heim doing double duty … Along with his full-time duties in the NASCAR Truck Series, Corey Heim makes his third Cup Series start this weekend, this time in the No. 50 Mobil 1 Camry XSE for 23XI Racing. Heim filled in for an injured Erik Jones in the No. 43 Camry XSE for LEGACY MOTOR CLUB at Dover and Kansas earlier this season, where he finished 25th and 22nd, respectively. Heim has made two previous starts at Nashville Superspeedway in the Truck Series, including a fourth-place finish last season.

Bell rolls to Nashville with serious momentum … Not only was Bell victorious on Sunday, he also won the Xfinity Series race on Saturday, capping off a monumental weekend sweep. The Oklahoma native also comes into the weekend with five consecutive top-10 finishes and six in the last seven Cup Series races. Additionally, Bell has finished in the top-10 in each of the three Cup Series races at Nashville to-date, to which another would further help his rise in the points standings.

Smith holds second, Creed rises in points … Heading to Nashville this weekend, Toyota and Joe Gibbs Racing’s two full-time Xfinity Series drivers are in the thick of the championship battle. Chandler Smith remains second in the series points standings and currently leads the Playoff points thanks to his two race wins and five stage wins so far this season. Sheldon Creed, coming off another runner-up finish, climbed to fifth in the points after Saturday’s race.

Toyota Cup drivers running Xfinity … This weekend, three Toyota Racing full-time Cup Series drivers will be doing double duty by challenging the Xfinity Series race on Saturday. Ty Gibbs and John Hunter Nemechek return to Joe Gibbs Racing’s No. 19 and 20 Toyota GR Supras for their fourth and ninth Xfinity Series races this season. Additionally, Tyler Reddick is back in the Xfinity Series for the first time this season, first since Las Vegas last year, with Sam Hunt Racing and the No. 26 GR Supra. Reddick has 10 career Xfinity Series wins, with his last coming in 2022.

Points update in Trucks return … With the return of the Truck Series this weekend, here are where the Toyota Tundras currently sit in the series points. Heim is the lead Tundra at the moment, currently second in the series points standings, but leads the Playoff standings thanks to his four wins so far this season. Taylor Gray is currently fifth with his brother, Tanner, sitting ninth. Stewart Friesen is also just outside the Playoff field currently, sitting in 11th coming into the weekend.

Butterbean returns to the No. 1 Tundra … After a stellar debut at North Wilkesboro last month, Brenden “Butterbean” Queen is back with TRICON Garage and the No. 1 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro this weekend in Nashville. The Virginia native came home fourth at North Wilkesboro and will make his debut at Nashville Superspeedway Friday night.

NASCAR Regional Series – ARCA Menards Series

Sawalich seeks Berlin repeat … Coming off his win at Mid-Ohio last weekend, his third win of 2024, Toyota Development Driver, William Sawalich, heads to Berlin Raceway with a lot of momentum. The Minnesotan also seeks a repeat at Berlin with last year’s victory, with Toyota itself seeking a three-peat at the Michigan track.

NHRA – Top Fuel | Funny Car

Toyota controls Top Fuel points … Following his third victory of the 2024 season in Virginia, defending Top Fuel champion, Doug Kalitta, extended his points advantage now over teammate, Shawn Langdon, who climbed to second after his runner-up finish. Justin Ashley follows them in third, with Steve Torrence in fourth and Antron Brown in fifth as Toyota owns the top-five in Top Fuel. In Funny Car, J.R. Todd remains fourth in the standings with Ron Capps in seventh and Alexis DeJoria in eighth.

Toyota streaks continue … Additionally with the performances at Virginia last weekend, Toyota kept a couple of NHRA streaks alive. With Kalitta’s victory, Toyota has now won nine of the last 10 NHRA races in Top Fuel, dating back to his triumph at Pomona last November. Toyota has also now made 32 consecutive finals in either Top Fuel and/or Funny Car following the all-Kalitta Motorsports Top Fuel final in Virginia last weekend with Kalitta and Langdon.
