Truex Jr. to join Waltrip's team
By Staff and wire reports Wednesday, July 8, 2009


Two-time Daytona 500 winner Michael Waltrip will scale back to a partial schedule to make room for Martin Truex Jr. to join the team in 2010.

Truex will leave Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing at the end of the year to drive the No. 56 Toyota, which he drove into the Michael Waltrip Racing shop Tuesday to announce his hiring. Truex received a thunderous ovation from the MWR employees on the shop floor, as well as about 100 fans Waltrip allowed to watch the announcement from an overhead balcony.

"Welcome aboard, brother," Waltrip told his new hire.

Waltrip will keep his No. 55 but run a partial schedule. He said he'd race in at least four races -- maybe as many as 12 -- and longtime sponsor NAPA was committed to sponsoring him in next season's Daytona 500.
