As rumor had it, Martin Truex Jr will join Michael Waltrip Racing next season as driver of the #56 NAPA sponsored Toyota. The official announcement was made earlier today from MWR headquarters in NC.
“The car number 56 has been has been in my family for a long time,” Truex explained. “My dad raced it some back in the ’80s. I’ve raced it until I moved down to North Carolina. The Busch series had the No. 56 on it, so it’s a number I’ve had a lot of success with, it’s one I used from the time I raced my first go kart all the way up through the ranks. It’s always been my number and it’s special, you know, that everybody here let me use my number, and the folks at NAPA were kind enough to help us make it happen. So it’s really significant for me and it’s really cool.”
