Martin Truex Jr. happy at Furniture Row Racing, signs two-year extension

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. _ Martin Truex Jr. says he's right where he wants to be with Furniture Row Racing.

"When I first went there I was like, 'Hey, this is a pretty good option. It's my only option, but it's a pretty good one,'n" Truex said Friday, a day after he signed a two-year extension with Furniture Row.

"We kind of got brought together by fate and it's interesting that it worked out that way. It's just been I feel like a continuing trend of getting better and better and better."

Truex arrived at Furniture Row _ a single-car team based in Denver _ after Michael Waltrip Racing dissolved in 2014. He made the Chase in 2015 and was one of the final four drivers still in contention for the title at the season's final race at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

"The whole process is how we make this thing work and keep it going and just see where it takes us," Truex said. "The last couple years have been so good, it's hard not to see it through to the end of the road and see where we end up."
