VONDALE, Ariz. (Nov. 9, 2014) – Martin Truex Jr. came home with a 12th-place finish in Sunday’s Sprint Cup Series race at Phoenix International Raceway. But the Furniture Row Racing driver felt the final result could have been much better had it not been for an incident on Lap 213 of 312.
While running in the top-five, Truex’s left-rear fender took a hit by the No. 18 car (Kyle Busch) during a restart at the 1-mile oval. The accident brought out the yellow flag first and then a red flag. The damage forced Truex to make an unscheduled pit stop during the caution. The end result was Truex dropping 13 positions to 18th.
