Martin Truex Jr's team to shut down after this season !!

[eddie]

With 5 Hour Energy pulling out as his sponsor and unable to find a new one, the owner of his team will shut the whole thing down after this season. He said he would have to borrow money to keep the team going, and he won't do that. Not a good sign for NASCAR when the big name teams can't get sponsors, JJ doesn't have one for next season either.

It is a very Sad sign of the times... Even with a strong economy, sponsors are looking for new and more effective ways to spend their advertising dollars. I live in Denver, and Furniture Row has been a real favorite since Martin Truex got behind the wheel. Even a 'Champion' Driver with a tremendous personality to help in a sponsors marketing can't save a team if they ain't willing to sign the check and pay the bills.

Suarez might be out of a ride in 2019 depending upon sponsorship

Sad news for the 78 team. They work hard and they have the talent, I hope that they can find a home at JGR.

Things NASCAR should have never done:
- Changed Atlanta
- Changed Homestead
- Dropped Rockingham
- Dropped Nashville
- Dropped North Wilkesboro

I'll let y'all continue this....
