NASCAR StatWatch: Can Martin Truex Jr. make it three playoff wins in a row?

That's just about as well as the playoffs could start for one Martin Truex Jr. Two races, two wins. With my background as a professional stat guy, I can tell you that's a 100% winning percentage, and that's really as high as it goes.

Truex is the fourth driver to start his playoffs with back-to-back wins in the 16 seasons the playoffs have been in existence. In 2011, Tony Stewart won the first two and won a championship. Matt Kenseth did it in 2013 and Greg Biffle in 2008, but they didn't win the title that year.

Now we're heading to the Charlotte Roval, and you have no idea how excited I am.
