Quote selected text Published February 10th, 2008 in NASCAR News
Martin Truex Jr. is in a contract year, and while some preliminary discussions have been held considering an extension, he insisted Feb. 7 that he wasn’t focused on that right now. Truex has spent the previous four years as part of Dale Earnhardt Inc., the first two in the Busch (now Nationwide) Series with Chance 2 Motorsports (co-owned by DEI and Dale Earnhardt Jr.) and the other two in Cup.
“We’ve talked about it a little bit and that’s as far as it went,” Truex said. “We need to go out here and win races and concentrate on racing. We’ll worry about that stuff later on.”
- Truex contract negotiations still ongoing with DEI
- Truex still not ruling out signing with another team
- No urgency on Jimmie Johnson contract extention
- Truex plans to stay with DEI
- Truex to drive for JR Motorsports at Bristol
we will see if truex wants to stay with TEI after Dale Jr left….if they give him winning cars and reliable motors i think he will stay…but if he starts having problems what so ever…he will bolt to if hes smart
