Martin Truex Jr., Sherwin-Williams Finishes make histry winning NASCAR Coca Cola 600

Martin Truex Jr. collected his first win of the season at the recent Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway May 29th. But, it wasn’t just the trip to Victory Lane that Truex and his Furniture Row Racing team celebrated, he made history leading more laps and miles than any other driver in NASCAR history – 392 of 400 laps, and 588 of the 600 miles.

The victory all but locked Truex in to a spot in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. He did so by winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series’ longest event of the year, dashing around the expansive 1.5-mile track all the while looking good as his No. 78 Toyota Camry sported the ULTRA 7000® refinish system provided by Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes. ULTRA 7000 is a versatile solvent borne product line that delivers a premium urethane performance to professional painters that always expect the highest in productivity, reduced cycle time and outstanding color match.
