An MRI on
Monday confirmed a scaphoid fracture and sprain of #56-Martin Truex
Jr. s right wrist suffered in Saturday night s accident at Bristol Motor

indefinitely. The cast enables him to better grip the steering wheel and
compete in Sunday s NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway as
well as the 11 remaining races. Truex worked closely with NASCAR this
week and has been cleared to race. A multi-car crash collected Truex on
lap 448 Saturday sending the NAPA AUTO PARTS Toyota into the outside
wall. Truex was treated in the medical center Saturday. MWR has yet to
determine if a stand-by driver is needed for this weekend. Truex is
14th in the points and holds the first of two wildcard entries as he
seeks his second consecutive berth in NASCAR s Chase the for Sprint
