Crew chief Cole Pearn's kids know how to party
Martin Truex Jr.'s dominating victory in Sunday night's Coca-Cola 600at Charlotte Motor Speedway was a popular one for a lot of reasons.
Truex nearly won several races earlier in the season only to be bitten by bad luck along the way, so it was good for him and his Furniture Row Racing team to finally seal the deal.
In the NASCAR garage, Truex and longtime girlfriend Sherry Pollex are well-liked and respected, and her fight against ovarian cancer has been well documented.
Furniture Row Racing team owner Barney Visser was a Vietnam vet, so to win on Memorial Day weekend was huge.
But it was also big for crew chief Cole Pearn's son, Callum, and daughter, Freya, who watched from home -- and jumped all over their couch -- when dad won. Young or old alike, it was one of the best feelgood stories of the year so far.
