Ryan Truex has answered the question. Truex scored his first win in the NASCAR Xfinity Series on Saturday at the concrete Monster Mile of Dover Motor Speedway.
Parker Kligerman began the race on the pole as rain forced qualifying to be cancelled on Friday. The first incident of the race would happen on lap six when Jeremy Clements spun by himself. Ryan Ellis would spin on lap 17 but the race remained green until Anthony Alfredo flattened a tire after a spin on lap 20. Ryan Truex would win the first stage.
Kligerman’s day would end in stage two after contact from Truck Series regular Corey Heim who was making his Xfinity Series debut. Truex would again win the stage but he would lose the lead on the ensuing pitstops to Austin Hill.
Hill began the final stage at the front of the field. Sheldon Creed would spin as the stage began but was fortunate that the field avoided his No. 2 car. Truex would run down Hill after the race went green reclaiming the lead on lap 112. From there he would start to put distance between himself and the field.
Jeffrey Earnhardt would begin smoking on lap 121 but was able to make it to the pits avoiding a caution flag. Green flag pit stops would take place inside of 40 laps to go. The last cards to pit were Sheldon Creed and Riley Herbst with 11 to go which circled the lead back to Truex.
The win is Truex’s first NASCAR win in any series since a win in the K&N East Series at New Hampshire in 2010. Brother Martin Truex Jr. scored his first win in the Cup Series at Dover in the spring of 2007.
