Take 5: 2019 Coca-Cola 600

Sunday night's Coca-Cola 600 offered up a little bit of everything with Martin Truex Jr. coming back from early trouble to earn his third victory of the 2019 season. Check out the five biggest takeaways from NASCAR's Memorial Day classic at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Don't call it a comeback: Martin Truex Jr. and the No. 19 team turned lemons into lemonade Sunday night. After smacking the wall on Lap 72 while leading the race, the team made quick work of repairs, taking big swings at adjustments to improve the car. After overcoming adversity, it appears Truex has the 1.5-milers figured out, earning his first intermediate track win since Kentucky in July 2018. "I just told Cole (Pearn) what the car was doing, and Cole kept swinging at it," Truex said. "At that point, I didn't know that we could get it going. It was plowing tight and I told them keep trying. ... That thing looked like we raced it at Martinsville. Maybe I'll hit the wall again. Pretty amazed, really."

What's the problem? It was a difficult Sunday night at Charlotte for the Stewart-Haas Racing squad. Although Kevin Harvick had a sniff of the front during the first stage, the No. 4 team faded throughout the night's 600 miles as Harvick salvaged a 10th-place finish -- the highest finishing driver for the organization. Aric Almirola qualified on the outside pole and finished 11th, while Daniel Suarez led both Saturday practice sessions only to finish 18th, with Clint Bowyer notching a 24th-place result. As Joe Gibbs Racing and Team Penske continue to dominate this season, winning 12 of 13 races so far, SHR drivers remain winless. With the regular season halfway complete, this is a surprise to say the least.

Engines that could: Ricky Stenhouse Jr. spent the majority of Sunday night's 600-mile Memorial Day classic in the top 10, sans an incident in Stage 1 when Kyle Busch drove into the back of him, sending the No. 17 for a spin down the frontstretch. Stenhouse rebounded quickly, earning a fifth-place finish and showcasing solid speed for Roush Fenway Racing. Chris Buescher also had a solid run for JTG Daugherty Racing, finishing sixth after brushing the wall. However, perhaps the most impressive run is credited to Corey LaJoie, wheeling the No. 32 Go Fas Racing Ford to a 12th-place result.

Coming for that No. 1 spot: With a new style of racing in play for the first time on the 1.5-mile track, this year's edition of the Coca-Cola 600 brought the action on a steamy night in Charlotte. Various drivers swapped the top spot often, with 46 green-flag passes for the lead, doubling last year's number of 23. We also saw competitors push their cars to the limit, a fair amount of jockeying for position and 16 cautions.

Turning it around: Hendrick Motorsports is officially on the upswing, placing all four cars in the top 10 on Sunday night. Chase Elliott was the highest-finishing driver in fourth, while Alex Bowman, Jimmie Johnson and William Byron finished seventh, eighth and ninth, respectively. Elliott and Bowman are on a hot streak with four consecutive top-10 finishes apiece as Johnson and Byron continue to make strides. According to seven-time champion Johnson, simplifying what the organization brings to the track has turned the ship around. "We're going in the right direction," Johnson said after the race. "This weekend was about going back to the basics, and we had a very competitive car all night long. At times you sit still and you think the world passes you up, so you get aggressive. Then you're too aggressive and you've got to pull it back. I think we found center here and we should be in good shape."
