No. 19 Auto-Owners Insurance Toyota Camry TRD News and Notes
- TRUEX AT INDY: Martin Truex Jr. started sixth and finished 15th in last season’s inaugural Indianapolis Road Course race. It was a hectic day for the Mayetta, New Jersey native as he had to make an unscheduled pit stop early and he was later involved in two late-race accidents. In 16 career starts on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s 2.5-mile oval layout, Truex posted one top-five finish and three top-10s.
- POCONO RECAP: Truex finished seventh in last weekend’s race at Pocono Raceway. After starting inside the top 10, he hovered just outside the top 10 for most of the race before gaining several positions on a late-race restart to claim his second consecutive top-10 result.
- AUTO-OWNERS: Auto-Owners Insurance will be featured as the primary sponsor of Truex’s No. 19 Camry TRD for Sunday’s race in Indianapolis.

What are your thoughts on going to the Indianapolis Road Course this weekend?
“Indianapolis is a challenging and very unique racetrack. Hopefully we can go there and be better than we were at Road America. I feel like we’ve gotten a little bit better at each road course so far this year. We definitely feel like we’re gaining on it, and we need to make another couple steps in the right direction to have a shot this weekend.”
