Jimmy is as tough as a racer can be...but he has the heart of GOLD.  If Tyler Truex needed a car to win the points or whatever, Jimmy would be the first to offer.  

Jimmy had a tough week because it was the 15th anniversary, of his brother John III, passing. Unfortunately Jimmy had to race at the same track, Thompson, as the place John III lost his life. Jimmy started on the pole and looked good early, but was involved in a wreck that really damaged his car.

Tyler Truex, last week, lost his uncle, Barney Truex, kind of the patriarch, although he is the brother to the elder Truex's.  He is the brother of Curtis Truex, (Tyler's father, and brother to Martin Truex Sr.), who is Martin Jr's (Cup Champion) father.  

Good to see they put it all behind them. Rivalries are rivalries because of competition and not who can wreck who harder. This should continue as a competition rivalry.
