Truex Breaks Through At Dover!

Well it seems DEI is not dead in the water yet as Martin Truex Jr earns his first Nascar Nextel Cup victory in dominating fashion. It was only a matter of time before Truex won his first race as he showed today what he can do in a race car when given equipment that can run up front. I'm especially proud that Martin hails from my home state of New Jersey as I can't remember in recent past that a driver from NJ has won a Cup race. Again Chevrolet wins another race and another COT race to boot. Will the other manufacturers catch up?

With the win Truex has put himself ahead of his popular teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr in the race to the chase and a chance at the biggest prize in US Motor Racing. And speaking of Earnhardt, where will he wind up next year? I don't know if we will know anytime soon because when you are dealing with the biggest name in the sport it will take a long time to work out a deal with all concerned parties. The only thing I would bet on is that he'll be in a Chevy and sponsored by The King Of Beers. But congrats to Martin Truex Jr for his first win of which there will surely be many more to follow.
