For the eighth time in his career, Truex led more than 100 laps in a Sprint Cup race. For the last seven of those races, he has failed to win (he finished 14th).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">&#8220;I couldn\u2019t believe it,&#8221; Truex said of the loose wheel that ruined his night. &#8220;I went around (Turns) 1 and 2, and I was like, \u2018The wheel\u2019s loose.\u2019 I kept telling myself that maybe it\u2019s not, maybe it\u2019s just shaking because it has tape on it or something stupid. It was loose, and I knew it right away. Frustrating, but that\u2019s how it goes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">&#8220;We\u2019re going to win races for sure. If we keep bringing cars like that, we\u2019re going to win some. It\u2019s frustrating when you\u2019ve had it happen so many times in your career. I swear, you watch guys win races that don\u2019t have the fastest car or on fuel mileage and all this stuff, and it\u2019s like, \u2018Damn, someday I\u2019m going to get on one of those or on the other side of one of them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">&#8220;Usually you can dominate and win, but it\u2019s tough, and it happens. It\u2019s part of racing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Truex, however, can find solace in Busch\u2019s clear demonstration on Saturday night that luck can change for the better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><em><strong>Note: \u00a0Additional photos after results.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Race &#8211; GoBowling 400<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>Kansas Speedway<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>Kansas City, Kansas<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>Saturday, May 07, 2016<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 1.
