The water invading the hull of the Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing sinking ship finally got to be too much for the talented Martin Truex Jr.
“I’ve given them everything that I could,” said Truex on Tuesday after announcing he’d take over a ride at Michael Waltrip Racing. “There got to be too many questions, too many things that were uncertain.”
Which is why, as we guessed a year ago, his one-year contract extension with the Teresa Earnhardt-run operation would be all for naught thanks to a nasty set of decisions and circumstances that have left a once proud team in survival mode, and might have left Truex settling for a team he might not have otherwise gone to.
