Dale Earnhardt Jr. recalled a day from many years ago when he saw Martin Truex Jr. in the garage. The latter, as Earnhardt describes, was bewildered and beside himself in frustration at how terribly things were going with his race team.
"I felt terrible for him because I knew he was wasted talent," Earnhardt told ESPN. "I knew he was wasting his good years not being in a good situation."
Earnhardt doesn't believe Truex will ever talk about how he struggled with the combination of race teams and crew chiefs he once worked with. This particular time that Earnhardt revealed, Truex had gone from Dale Earnhardt Inc.
