DENVER (AP) – Martin Truex Jr. has signed a two-year contract extension with Furniture Row Racing, keeping him with his NASCAR team through the 2018 season. The Denver-based operation also announced Thursday that Bass Pro Shops and Tracker Boats will increase its primary sponsorship on the No. 78 Toyota from 12 to 16 races in 2017. The 36-year-old Truex already has clinched a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship this season. He has one win, three top-five finishes and nine top-10s in 21 races. He also tops the Cup series with 1,005 laps led and ranks eighth in driver points. Truex has been Furniture Row’s driver since the start of the 2014 season. He made the Chase last year and advanced to the final four.
