Martin Truex Jr.
Here’s what TopBet’s Ryan Simpson said about Martin Truex Jr. in our preview of the 2021 Drydene 400 race:
“Truex got his third win of the season by taking the checkered flag at Goodyear 400 last Sunday. He’s definitely feeling good right now. He doesn’t need that win though to feel confident about his chances this coming weekend at Dover International Speedway, where he’s already won three times before. Moreover, Truex has finished no worse than a runner-up in each of his past four starts there, including a win at the 2019 Gander RV 400.”
