Truex still working with DEI on new contract
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Martin Truex Jr. hasn't said why he hasn't yet signed a contract to remain with Dale Earnhardt Inc., but he did say Thursday at Daytona that he is trying to seal a deal.
"It's not done yet, and we are trying to get it done," said Truex.
At least two top-level Nextel Cup teams have immediate openings for the 2006 season. Truex Jr. is in the final year of his contract with DEI, and as reigning Busch Series champion, it is natural that he has found himself in the rumor mill.
For his part, Truex has been mum on his talks with DEI, which are being led by his father.
About the time Truex' name popped into the rumor mill, his performances in the Busch Series dramatically improved. Since finishing 35th at Texas in April, Truex has been on a tear, scoring top-10 finishes in eight of his past nine races
