I do not see DEI mentioned in this article!
Martin Truex Jr and Mark Martin are DEI drivers and DEI has to agree to let them run races for other teams.
And from the nature of your comments and your previous comments in other articles it sounds like from the start of this one you are trying to be a Smart-”donkey” and start an argument for no reason other then to argue, thinking you will get me to break the rules and get banned. But its not going to happen.

Oh… KENNETH… I believe THIS would be BREAKING the rules!!!
Just because SAM said: “I do not see DEI mentioned in this article!”
but.. SAM is in the wrong making inappropriate comments, and attacking others. HHHHHHHMMMMM.. Ok
Jr88fan I did not attack Sam, or break the rules at all. I simply stated that the nature of the way that comment was written, combined with the nature of the other comments from Sam involving Me and JR related topics seamed like Sam was trying to coax me into an argument in hopes of me breaking the rules in the course of that argument.
kthnxbye
I merely made a true statement!
And I have no problem with that Sam as I was doing the same in my first post. Its just that the Exclamation point added a sarcastic argumentative tone (at least the way I read it, but it is hard to tell tone on the internet) based on our previous “debates” on the topics of Jr, DEI, JRM, etc… And that is why I said what I said.
lol you guys are funny, but yeah BACK TO THE ARTICAL. My boy is going to take the # 5 chevy into victory lane at bristol. And with out cheating i might add lol J/K jr88fan dont get mad at me. I know fisha has gotten ya upset. but anyway good luck, and even though its a Jr motorsports car i will be cheering him on. Dang i think hell might be freezing over lol j/k

It has nothing to do with DEI, most drivers have special clauses in their contracts enabling them to do stuff like this as long as it doesnt interupt their commitment to their team nobody really cares except a few fans and btw Junior and Truex are still good friends

I have no idea why you have to through the cheating thing in! JR and JR are friends. I like truex as does most of D-JRs fans.
Exactly Sam. I too like Truex.. not the Truex fan here. That’s jsut laughable. The only thing I am not liking about M. Truex right now, is the fact that he got cocky and had a “I’m so great” snubbing his nose at people attitude, now that he is DEI number 1. That is not professional nor the way someone should behave when you have had your pockets filled BECAUSE someone gave you a chance.
Like its been said before… don’t bite the hand that feeds you! It WILL snap back… with more force and damage.
Actually he has had that attitude since he was racing Modifieds at Mahoning and Wall and a few other tracks. He’s kinda like Denny Hamlin where his true self doesn’t start to show till he’s in Cup for a few years.
George, Truex said last year that he wanted to race more Busch races but DEI wouldn’t let him, Kinda of like who Jr wanted to run more Busch races for his team, but Budweiser didn’t really want him associated with any car besides the Red Budweiser car (which he also said in an interview last year).
And I know they are still friends, and they also still play video games online with each other a lot, especially since the new one they play just came out this week.
