Do you think MartinTruex Jr. will do better at DEI next year?

Oh heck yeah! Martin Truex Jr. is a better driver than his father was. Truex is going to have an awesome team mate next year with Aric Almirola. Aric likes to get in the mix and play hard. When Truex gets a wild hair, he drives like Jeff Gordon. Truex got screwed out the the chase this year by getting docked 150 points for a roofline, "template" violation (lame!) and Kevin Manion suspended for a few races. The #1 car is going to squeeze someone out of the chase next year, and earn some good points on the way. And that's not even counting what the infamous #8 will do.

Yes. Truex has been running real good lately. '08 was the first year will the COT full-time and many teams haven't been good with it, yet. Plus, DEI has been trying to find sponsors and there are merger rumors that have been coming lately, which could be a distraction to the team. I think he is capable of making the chase and getting a win or two in 2009. I think Aric Almirola will do well as his teammate also.

The question is weather there will be a DEI next year

Who knows if there will even be a DEI next year? Rumor mill is running rampant with the talks with Ganassi.

Well, he would have done better this year if he hadn't been fined 150 points. Up till that, he was in the top 12. He is a good driver so I have confidence that he will run great next year.

no, DEI is a sinking ship, that's why they are seeking yet another merger to survive. shame too, because truex is a great driver trapped in teresa's web.

yes i do because it the last year of his dei contract

Yes, I do.

Martin's a good driver, and he would've faired better if not for some unfortunate being in the wrong place at the wrong time incidents this season.

Oh I think so...he did OK this year but next year will be a chase year.

No.The only change is the ECR engines,but they still have a lot of issues over there.
