Ryan Truex will step back behind the wheel of the #27 Hillman Racing Chevy this Friday evening at Phoenix International Raceway. This will mark his second career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series start and first series start at the recently-paved Phoenix track. Truex made his Truck Series debut at Martinsville Speedway and was on tap for a strong finish before a failed transmission ended his day early. This weekend Truex will compete at Phoenix for the first time in the Truck Series, but it will not be his first start at the one-mile speedway. Truex has three NASCAR Nationwide Series starts with Michael Waltrip Racing and Joe Gibbs Racing. His best finish came in the fall event in 2011 where he started and finished in the eighth spot with Joe Gibbs Racing. New Jersey and home is always on the mind of. The recent events of Hurricane Sandy ripped apart the Jersey Shore and his hometown of Mayetta, N.J. Older brother Martin [Truex Jr.] and Ryan are encouraging fans to step up and donate to assist with relief efforts. Fans can contribute to the Martin Truex Jr. Foundation where funds will go to relief efforts in the Garden State.(Truex/Hillman Racing PR) [Image of the #27 Martin Truex Jr Fdn/Hurricane Sandy Relief Chevrolet is posted on the #27 NCWTS 2012 Paint Schemes page.](11-6-2012)
