Martin Truex Jr., the number one driver for the Dale
Earnhardt Inc. team, is quickly becoming one of the most popular
racing talents on the NASCAR Sprint Cup circuit.
The 27-year-old racer, who grew up in nearby Mayetta, NJ,
will be visiting with many of his fans when he visits the huge
Motorsports 2008 Race Car Show presented by VP Racing Fuels at
the Atlantic City Convention Center. The show opens at noon on
January 18th and continues through until 5 pm on Sunday, January
20th.
Truex, who had one win to his credit on the Cup circuit in
2007 and finished 11th in the Chase for the Cup Championship,
will visit with fans and sign autographs along with a number of
other NASCAR stars. Truex will sign autographs at 5:00 pm on
Friday, January 18th (opening day for the three-day show).
Truex kicked off his career in go-kart racing while still
attending grade school. He moved on to modified racing at Wall
Township (NJ) Speedway where he was a feature winner and then to
NASCAR Busch North Series competition where he was a winner.
The Mayetta, NJ racer is a two time past champion of the
NASCAR Nationwide Series.

imaginable in motorsports. More than 200 motorsports vehicles
will be on display.
In addition to Hornaday and Truex other NASCAR stars
