No. 19 Reser’s Fine Foods Toyota Camry TRD News and Notes
- TRUEX AT FONTANA: Martin Truex Jr. owns one NASCAR Cup Series victory at Auto Club Speedway after winning the pole and leading 125 laps on the way to victory lane in 2018. Overall, he has posted top-10 finishes in three of the past four races at the two-mile track. In the series’ most recent visit to the track two years ago, Truex fought his way to second place late in the race before a pit road miscue relegated him to a 14th-place finish.
- DAYTONA RECAP: The Mayetta, New Jersey native led three times for 11 laps in last Sunday’s Daytona 500. He also won both stages before being collected in a multi-car accident in the final segment. In the end, Truex took the checkered flag in the 13th position.
- STAGE MASTER: Truex captured his 50th and 51st career stage wins last weekend in Daytona. His 51 stage victories are the most all-time since the inception of stage racing in 2017. Dating back to last year’s season finale, the No. 19 driver has won three of the past four stages overall.
- RESER’S FINE FOODS: Truex’s No. 19 Camry TRD will feature the Reser’s Fine Foods colors for Sunday’s race at Auto Club Speedway. Earlier this week, Joe Gibbs Racing and Reser’s announced a multi-year contract extension to continue their partnership that is entering its 10th season. After joining the team in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2013, Reser’s moved to the JGR NASCAR Cup Series team in 2018 before joining the No. 19 sponsor lineup last season. This season, Reser’s will once again be a primary sponsor for three races (Auto Club Speedway, World Wide Technology Raceway and Watkins Glen International) and also received associate sponsorship placement throughout the season. Since 1950, the family-owned company has been a proud sponsor of good times and great foods at racetracks, picnics, BBQs, music festivals, and family meals.
- JGR AT FONTANA: Joe Gibbs Racing owns three NASCAR Cup Series wins at Auto Club Speedway. In 89 combined starts at the track, the organization has racked up 20 top-five finishes, 40 top-10s, 1,083 laps led and five pole awards. Kyle Busch has earned all three of JGR’s wins at Fontana.
- TUNE IN: Coverage of this weekend’s race at Auto Club Speedway begins Sunday, February 27, at 3:30 p.m. ET on FOX, MRN Radio and Sirius XM NASCAR Radio.

What do you expect going to Fontana for the first time with this car?
“We think we know what to expect based on the testing that we’ve done and just previous experience at the track, but it’s a new car with a new tire, so a lot of it is based on simulations, and you just hope you’re making the right assumptions. This will definitely be one of the bigger unknowns that we’ve faced in a long time because we’re not getting a ton of track time for practice and once you practice and qualify, it’s impounded until Sunday. Hopefully we unload where we need to be and can qualify up front and run well. It’s a very unique situation, but it’s the same for everyone so we just need to be able to take advantage of the opportunity.”
