racinfarmer Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Good finish. I think I'd have liked to see the 98 get his first win. Mittler Brothers drag home 2 wrecked trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Another one bites the dust Quote 5-hour ENERGY ending NASCAR involvement DENVER, Colo. (July 18, 2018) - Defending Cup Series champion Furniture Row Racing and driver Martin Truex Jr. are currently seeking sponsorship on the No. 78 Toyota for 2019 to replace 5-hour ENERGY, which informed the team it will be ending its NASCAR involvement at the conclusion of the current season. 5-hour ENERGY joined Furniture Row Racing in 2017, serving as majority primary sponsor on the No. 77 Toyota with Rookie of the Year winner Erik Jones, as well as a season-long associate and two primaries on the No. 78 with Truex during his championship campaign. In 2018, 5-hour ENERGY became the major co-primary on the No. 78 along with Bass Pro Shops/Tracker Boats for 30 Cup races. The energy shot company has been a NASCAR primary sponsor for nearly a decade, including the last seven at the Cup Series level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a recent article about contract negotiations. Truex is probably looking to make some $$$$ at this point in his career.

The current defending cup champion, and 7 time are both losing major sponsors at the end of the season. I'm sure both teams will find sponsorship, but will the new sponsor for the 48 car pay HMS the same money that Lowes has been spending? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What top tier team that has solid funding that can boot a driver , Gibbs - who's out ? , Hendrick - who's out ? , Stewart - Hass , who's out ? ( Kurt Busch ?? ). Every other team is a second tier or worse. imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
