It's never come easy for Martin Truex Jr., a journeyman driver who has never found the success he hoped to have at NASCAR's highest level. Oh, it was fun a decade ago when a friendship with Dale Earnhardt Jr. led to a full-time ride in NASCAR's second-tier series. Driving for Dale Earnhardt Inc., Truex won 12 races in two years and back-to-back championships in what's now called the Xfinity Series.
