Martin Truex Jr. had the freshest tires for overtime at Kansas Speedway, finishing fourth in the AdventHealth 400. Truex’s charge from 10th with four tires was tough in two laps, aiming to clear Chase Elliott quickly. Despite getting tight off Turn 4, Truex battled for third place and nearly clinched the win in the final corner. Truex moved up to fifth place with 35 laps to go, then overtook Kyle Larson for second before a caution sent the race to overtime. Frustrated by the outcome, Truex acknowledged his team’s efforts and the strong performance of their Auto-Owners Camry, but lamented their inability to close out the race. Leading up to the overtime finish, Truex finished seventh in the first stage, fifth in the second stage, and did not lead any laps in the race.
