NASCAR at Watkins Glen results: Martin Truex Jr. wins fourth race of the year

Martin Truex Jr. held off Matt Kenseth to win his series-leading fourth race of the season at Watkins Glen on Sunday. The No. 78 took the lead with three laps to go after Brad Keselowski and Ryan Blaney ran out of fuel.

The win is Truex's first at The Glen. He has won at both road courses as he took the checkered flag at Sonoma in 2013. Truex was one of our picks to win the race. Other picks that finished in the top 10 included Kyle Busch and AJ Allmendinger.

The No. 78 already had a dominating playoff points lead heading into the race and has now added another five points, bringing his total to an impressive 34.
