I think Earnhardt Ganassi Racing was the problem, not Truex. He is a two-time Nationwide champion.
There was an interesting article (in the WSJ) about how Waltrip welcomed business owner Robert Kaufmann (Fortress Investment Group) as a partner and got more aid with real estate developer Johnny Harris. The team is now known as Michael Waltrip Racing Holdings LLC.
Kaufmann (based in London) hired three F-1 engineers to come over and work with the team. They have definitely shown improvements this year.
P/S I get most of my Nascar news from the Wall Street Journal.
