fails WP:ATHLETE as he has yet to compete in the Sprint Cup series, and being a sibling of a Cup driver doesn't automatically make one notable. ArcAngel (talk) 13:42, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep He just became the 2009 champion in the NASCAR Camping World East Series. This is a national-level feeder touring stock car series sanctioned by NASCAR, and I expect that every champion of this series is notable enough to justify an article. Truex is also a developmental driver for a major NASCAR Sprint Cup Series which significantly adds to his notability. Both are indications of him being a sure shot to go higher in the next year or 2; NASCAR's article on his championship says that he's planning to run some Nationwide Series races after he turns 18 in March 2010 (NASCAR's minimum age in it's 3 largest series is 18). So to prove that's he's notable, I've added sufficient multiple independent reliable sources to assert this notability. I was thinking about creating a page for him a few months ago before I found out that he won the national championship this year.  Royal broil  04:12, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep His accomplishments in his own right establish a claim of notability that is backed by reliable and verifiable sources. Alansohn (talk) 19:21, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - The person is notable for winning the 2009 NASCAR Camping World East Series. Also it is backed by news sources. Techman224  Talk  01:24, 10 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep per above. He would have been notable just for being in the series. Doc Quintana (talk) 11:33, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
