Third in Hollywood Casino 400 Truex Jr. finished third in the Hollywood Casino 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway Sunday afternoon.

Impact The driver of the No. 19 Toyota rebounded to more familiar form with a good performance Sunday at Kansas Speedway. Truex started mid-pack on the grid and quickly worked his way inside the Top 10 by the end of stage 1. He would remain there the rest of the way, battling just behind the leaders. Some late accidents among the leaders would allow Truex to climb into the lead for 5 laps late, but he'd fall into the clutches of Ross Chastain with 20 laps to go. He'd eventually fade to third-place by the checkered flag for just his fifth Top 5 of the season.
