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.
