SONOMA, Calif. — Martin Truex Jr. has won in Northern California wine country before and he just might do it again this weekend.
Truex led the first of two rounds of practice Friday on the Sonoma Raceway road course in advance of Sunday’s Toyota/Save Mart 350 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race (1:30 p.m. ET, FS1).
The 2013 winner here, Truex drove the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota to P1 on the board by posting a fast lap of 94.587 miles per hour late in the session.
That knocked off Denny Hamlin, who wound up second at the 1.
