Martin Truex Jr. On The Move?

According to SportsBusiness DAILY, Furniture Row Racing’s talks to sell its assets to G-M-S Racing have broken down – creating the possibility that 2017 Monster Energy Series champion Martin Truex Junior may move to Joe Gibbs Racing as the replacement for Daniel Suarez in the team’s Number-19 Toyota.

S-B-D’s reporting would have Suarez moving over to Leavine Family Racing as the replacement for Kasey Kahne, who recently announced that the 2018 season would be his last as a full-time driver.

Last month, 5-hour ENERGY informed Furniture Row Racing and Truex that it would end its sponsorship at the conclusion of the current campaign.  The Michigan-based company has been a NASCAR team sponsor for nearly ten years, the last two of which they’ve been associated with F-R-R.  Truex is among forty-one drivers on the preliminary entry list for Sunday night’s Bojangles’ Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway and one of twelve drivers who have clinched 2018 playoff berths.
