Truex is winless this season with two top-five finishes over the first 10 Cup races. He stopped and posed for pictures with members of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Dover. Larson used his umbrella as a de facto cane as he walked back from pit road into the garage area.
Ryan Blaney is third, Truex is fourth and William Byron fifth. So they’ll fire the engines again at noon Monday with Hendrick Motorsports teammates Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott starting 1-2.
With a green flag start just after 3 p.m., and no lights at the concrete mile track, NASCAR faced a tight window to reach the halfway mark needed for an official race. It’s the fourth time out of 104 career Dover races it will run on a Monday.
