I’d rather be number 1 for a number 4 team then number 4 for a number 1 team.

I just read over on Yahoo Sports that George Gillett offered him quite a bit of $$ to sign with GEM in a 4th car. It was in Jay Busbee’s blog, so I don’t really know how true it is.

Well there goes his career!! I loved to watch him race but now, like darrell said, he committed career suicide! However he must know something going on at DEI that enticed him to stay that none of us know about. Good Luck to ya Martin, hopefully things will turn around!!

I agree! I think the thing he knows at DEI is the big fat check
he is cashing.

I saw on ESPN a week or so ago that Martin thought he had
overpriced his self and thought he would get big money so most
of the major teams dropped out of signing him quickly. He basically
worked his self into a corner.

Money talks, bs walks. Truexs’ bank account probably full now. Also, Truex and Menard(John’s $$$) are the best play for TE in order to retain company value for keeping sponsors or possible future sale.

Well this is good news for anyone whose favorite driver isn’t named Martin Truex, Jr. He’s now a lock to miss the chase in ‘09, so that frees up a spot for your favorite guy

This depresses me. Why, Martin? WHY????? He could’ve done SO much better.

If this is true Martin, I am sad. You could’ve done better. I still can’t believe this is true. Are you shooting me?

Mr. Truex I hope you are reading this, my question is……..

How do you expect to win races or championships staying with a once great organization now a poor one that is afraid to spend alittle money for good equipment?, you have to have good equipment to win, all I can say to you good luck, you will need it with TEI, once DEI……..
