Persistence is a hell of a thing, and at Dover Motor Speedway in Saturday’s A-Game 200, Ryan Truex proved it pays off. The 31-year-old brother of Martin Truex Jr., who has tried and been so close to victory over 13 years in the NASCAR National Series ranks, finally broke through for his first-career NASCAR Xfinity Series win.

Not only did Truex score the win, but he was the dominant man on the day. Truex led a race-high 124 laps and won both Stages 1 and 2 on his path to victory. Down the stretch, Truex was perfect on a late green flag pit sequence, which sealed the victory over Josh Berry.
