Martin Truex Jr. of Furniture Row Racing took part in a big race on Tuesday in New York City as he made an appearance on the Tonight Show with host Jimmy Fallon and the rest of the NASCAR Championship 4 drivers, Joey Logano, Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick.
The big race was on a smaller scale where the four NASCAR drivers raced remote control cars around a New York themed obstacle track in the Tonight Show studio. The R.C. Pro Am race was dominated by Truex and his No. 78 R.C. car.
This isn’t the only race Truex had on his mind though, as he really has his sights on winning back-to-back Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series championships this fall. Truex is ranked third in the standings heading into Championship Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Nov. 18, 2018. You can watch the race Sunday at 1 p.m. on NBCSN.
