MOORESVILLE, N.C. (May 13, 2008) – Dale Earnhardt Inc. driver Martin Truex Jr. had struggled through the 2007 NASCAR Sprint Cup Season leading up to last year’s All – Star weekend at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. The Mayetta, N.J. native was 18th in points and neither he nor his team had found any consistency on a week-to-week basis.
“We had been struggling through the first part of last year,” Truex said. “We ran good at Daytona to start off the year, but we got caught up in a wreck and finished 29th. Then we had an engine failure at California the next week and finished 42nd. Even though we had managed to put together a couple of good runs after that, we were still trying to find our way as a team.”
