Cars in field: 36
\nPole: Kyle Busch (8)
\nOutside pole: Christopher Bell (20)
\nStages: 120-130-150
\nCompetition caution scheduled for lap 20
\nWeather: Cloudy, 61 degrees, feels like 58, 9 mph wind with 17 mph gustsStage 1 – four cautions – I missed the stage.<\/p>\n

Stage 2 – all green – 122 laps – boring.<\/p>\n

Even PRN’s Doug Rice said, “when we race on Monday we get a different kind of race. It’s like everybody is ready to get home”. He said it might pick up when we get within 75 laps. So of a 400 lap race he’s saying 325 of the 400 laps are boring. I believe he’s being generous with when they’re going to pickup the pace and actually begin to race. I don’t expect them to begin racing until 30 laps to go.<\/p>\n

On lap 365 of 400 the PRN guys are a bit excited at the possibility of the second place guy catching up to the leader. The lead changed on the last green flag pit cycle.<\/p>\n

Caution on lap 387 of 400 for Joey Logano (22) losing a tire and hitting the wall. Logano’s car caught fire.<\/p>\n

Restarting on lap 394 of 400 with Martin ‘MTJ’ Truex Jr (19) and Ryan Blaney (12) on the front row.<\/p>\n

Blaney gets the early lead on the restart, then Truex re-takes the lead.<\/p>\n

Martin ‘MTJ’ Truex Jr (19) takes the white flag.<\/p>\n

Martin ‘MTJ’ Truex Jr (19) wins! He finishes 0.505
\nseconds ahead of second place. PRN says it has been 597 days since MTJ had a win. I believe he won in the pre-season events earlier this year, so maybe it’s been that long since he had a points paying win.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to the Truex brothers on their home track with Ryan winning the Xfinity series race on Saturday and big brother Martin winning today. It took Ryan Truex 9 years and 89 races to finally win one in the Xfinity series.<\/p>\n

MTJ literally burned the tires to the ground. He got out of the car when the body was sitting on the ground and the tires would no longer move.<\/p>\n

FoxSports’ Regan Smith said the whole Truex family has been [here](Dover) all week long.<\/p>\n

Boring, boring, boring, boring, boring. A typical Monday race – lets log laps as quickly as possible so we can get home.<\/p>\n
