11 May, 2021 This past week Stateside was all about the Darlington 400 for tin-top brigade while the open-wheel aficionados begin the legendary Month of May with the Indianapolis 500 taking centre stage; meanwhile, on the sportscar front, Penske and Porsche will collaborate in WEC and IMSA. This past weekend, Martin Truex Jr. dominated NASCAR’s Goodyear 400 at Darlington, but his victory does more to help one driver than himself. Truex and his #19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota led 248 of 293 laps on Sunday at the 1.3 mile Darlington oval in South Carolina, sweeping the stages on his way to Victory Lane. Kyle Larson proved to be Truex’s biggest rival, putting on a charge in the final stage and gaining time in the pit cycle. Larson closed the gap to Truex down to 0.170-second but despite some ballsy navigation of traffic, Truex edged out a 2.5-second gap at the flag.
