Yeah that’s pretty crazy. I wonder if my work will follow Truex to another team, you know he’ll be picked up by someone.

 

[Budnicks]

too bad for the Furniture Rows, team, crew & Truex Jr.

They need to sell 'a shitload of furniture'
to pay that marketing campaign/sponsorship

he will get a new marketing deal soon'
he's too good of a driver not too

hopefully his crew/team can come along for the ride too
