Blue-Emu 400 Top Pick
Martin Truex (+550)
Truex has been a threat at Martinsville more often than not, winning three times over his last six races, which also includes four top-five finishes and five top-10s. He’s been just as solid on short tracks, boasting 12 top-10 finishes over his last 17 outings.
The No. 19 Toyota representing Joe Gibbs Racing has been rounding into form as of late with three consecutive top-10 finishes including a season-best fourth-place showing at Richmond last week.
