Martin Truex Jr.

Martin Truex Jr. has a new teammate in 2017 and everyone seems to be excited about. However, adding a car to the stable isn’t always the best. In fact, sometimes teams have faltered after expanding their operations.

Will the addition of Erik Jones hurt the on-track product of Martin Truex Jr. and the No. 78 team?

If Truex is able to repeat his 2016 effort, he will be a contender to win a championship in 2017. The only reason Jones would hurt the No. 78 would be if resources are being spread too thin at FRR and it starts to hurt the on-track performance of his team. If the addition of Jones doesn’t takeaway from Truex, all should come up roses for the No. 78 team this season.
