Wednesday night in Martinsville couldn’t have gone much worse for the Toyota camp. Yes, Martin Truex Jr won, which saved them from a complete and total embarrassment, but the other four drivers all lived outside the top 20 for much of the night too.

Despite that, I think that they can turn things around on Sunday afternoon at the Homestead-Miami Speedway.

More: 1.5 Mile Parity Lately

Last Sunday in Atlanta, was a hot race on a slick 1.5 mile track, yet an old racing surface. They put three cars in the top five of the final finishing order that day.

Last year in Homestead, they finished 1-2-3. Combine both and you should get a solid day.

A driver that I’m looking at is Kyle Busch. He hasn’t won since this very track last year. Can he end a winless drought on the same track? His teammate Martin Truex Jr’s just accomplished the same feat a couple of days ago. Truex’s last win of the 2019 season was at Martinsville and his first win of 2020 was on the same track.

Busch, has three runner-up finishes in four tries in like tracks to Homestead in 2020 and five straight top six finishes at the track itself, three of which being in the top two. He’s going to be a force to be reckoned with.

So will pole sitter Denny Hamlin. The driver of the FedEx No. 11 Toyota, has four top six finishes in as many tries on older surfaces in 2020 but one top six in his last seven Homestead starts.

Truex, has three straight top twos in Homestead, won on Wednesday, won both stages in Atlanta last Sunday and has three top 10s in four tries on aged surfaces this season too. He starts sixth.

This group should be dominant on Sunday afternoon.
