Martin Truex Jr. and his crew chief James Small made headlines last month at Richmond<\/a> when the pair got into a heated conversation over the team radio late in the race. On Monday, the Joe Gibbs Racing<\/a> driver was the top story for a much happier reason after snapping his 54-race winless streak at Dover Motor Speedway<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the race, the 42-year-old driver talked about how tough the last two seasons have been but was proud of his team for fighting through it and finally getting a win. Small echoed those same feelings but when asked about a message for the fans, offered a few choice words for those who questioned his ability.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
