Martin Truex Jr. continues to maintain his belief that his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate jumped the final restart at Richmond Raceway last weekend. Truex expressed his unchanged opinion about Denny Hamlin on Saturday. The two drivers restarted side-by-side for overtime, with Hamlin leading after beating Truex off pit road. Despite Truex’s dominance with 228 laps led, Hamlin was not penalized by NASCAR for the restart. Truex, feeling frustrated with the situation, acknowledged the need for clearer rules and consistent enforcement by NASCAR. As the series moves to Martinsville Speedway, Truex hopes for a smoother race weekend and aims to put the Richmond incident behind him.
