According to reports in the press, it appears Michael Waltrip Racing is set to announce the hiring of Earnhardt Ganassi Racing’s Martin Truex Jr .
It is expected that Truex will replace Michael Waltrip as a full-time driver at MWR with Waltrip likely driving a partial schedule. Neither Truex nor Waltrip have denied reports of Truex being headed to MWR.
If MWR fields a full-time car for Truex and a part-time effort for Waltrip in addition to keeping David Reutimann and its relationship with JTG Daugherty Racing, it would reach the maximum of four teams.
