3. Axalta 'We Paint Winners' 400, Pocono Raceway, June 7, 2015
Fast forward to a little less than two years later, and it's Truex taking the checkered flag again. The "Tricky Triangle" proved smooth for the Furniture Row Racing wheelman after topping the board for 97 laps. The win earned him a playoff berth and the chance to fight for the 2015 title. He ended up advancing to the Championship 4 and finished the year fourth -- a career best at the time -- in the standings.

11. I LOVE NEW YORK 355, Watkins Glen International, Aug. 7, 2017
Truex and crew chief Cole Pearn played the fuel-strategy game, actually letting some drivers pass him late in the race, knowing they would have to stop for a splash of fuel while he was saving. It worked, and the Furniture Row Racing driver landed in Victory Lane for the fourth time of the year.
