In a recent interview, he expressed how he feels about winning this year compared to being winless last season.

Joe Gibbs admitted that they were unable to give Truex the car that is capable of winning last season. After One year and Toyota improvements later, Truex roared right back to victory lane in wine country.

In a recent interview with NASCAR, he revealed how everyone bombarded a question to Truex: “You know, I mean, I got that question a lot last year because we didn’t win.”

Truex said in the interview, “We should have won bunch of races last year, even though our cars weren’t probably the best cars in the field. Toyota as a group probably was off. I still feel like we should have won five or six races.”

Martin Truex reflects on his team’s success and their journey to regain their winning form. Despite facing challenges and a winless season, Truex emphasizes the importance of hard work and making better decisions

It’s a reputation of a legendary driver that their confidence will never shatter no matter how hard a situation you put them in. Martin was passing through a time when he was searching for a comeback after a harsh last year. But his confidence and hard work come into play and now he has become the leader in the Cup series Standings. Notably, he was 26th overall last season.

It is safe to say that Truex will undoubtedly prove his skills at Sonoma if provided with a competitive car, as he has proven in the past. His Crew Chief, James Small, expressed this sentiment, stating, “You come to Sonoma with Martin Truex, and you expect to win. Thankfully, today we gave him a car, and he was able to do that. ..”

As their confidence was sky high, he believed in himself even after a long winless season that he can still win. He said, “I knew I can navigate around this track. Maybe I’m not the best driver on this track. I don’t know. Maybe somebody else could go a tenth of a second faster in my car than I do. I doubt they could, but it’s possible. But they’re not going to be a second off like we were last year.”
