No. 20 Grime Boss Toyota News and Notes:
10 DAYS REMOVED FROM SURGERY: Truex underwent an emergency appendectomy after feeling severe discomfort in the early morning hours of Tuesday May 22. Doctors operated on Truex, removing his appendix that afternoon after determining that surgery was needed. The 20-year old NNS competitor has been cleared and is ready to compete in this weekend’s 200-lap event at The Monster Mile. “I felt fine Monday evening, but around 2 a.m. felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to the hospital to find out that my appendix hadn’t burst, but needed surgery to be removed,” said Truex. “The procedure went extremely well and I’m ready to get back in the No. 20 Grime Boss Toyota this weekend…I’ll just be a little lighter.”
‘MY HOMETOWN’ OFF EXIT 63A GARDEN STATE PARKWAY: Truex joinsBruceSpringsteen and Bon Jovi who call the Garden State home. This weekend the NASCAR Nationwide Series heads to Truex’s home track, Dover International Speedway. It’s a special place for the Truex family; Ryan and older brother Martin Truex Jr. grew up just across the state line in Mayetta, N.J. (No, Jersey Shore wasn’t filmed there). A child of all sports, Ryan spent his younger years playing local hockey, but when his father put him in a Bandolero hoping he’d get bored and move on, he took a liking to the fast-paced bump and grind sport. He captured the Wall Stadium championship and dominated short tracks in his early years. He progressed through the racing ranks catching the attention of Michael Waltrip Racing, who gave Truex his start in the NASCAR K&N East Pro Series. He impressed, and captured the 2009 and 2010 series’ championships. The No. 20 Grime Boss driver has completed 28 NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) events in his career earning one top five and six top-10 finishes.
