Truex Alliance

Truex Princess came into her first season at Ashley�s Palace in 2007, thanks to the invite from her boyfriend Truex Prince. Success didn�t hit her in big ways though as expected due to her boyfriend�s success last year but it was a fun year throughout. Truex Princess managed to score 12th in series overall points while scoring 5 wins. The cup series was a disappointment as she didn�t make the top 12 but she did however manage to get a cup win for the Autism Speaks 400. She made the cut however in Busch finishing 11th after scoring 3 wins. Her points strand got better though as she got her highest points finish in truck where she finished 9th with 1 win. Truex Princess is a proud member of the Truex Alliance team in which they finished 5th in team points overall. Truex Alliance also managed to score two records: most Busch wins won in a row and most truck wins won in a row.
Truex Princess came into the 2007 Chase ready to prove that she deserved to counted as a contender every weekend yet this year�s chase wasn�t meant to be for her. She finished 12th overall with no wins. Her separate division titles didn�t get any better as she scored 12th in both Busch & Truck also.
For 2008, she'd make the chase once again as she'd finish 11th in superior. She'd do better with her cup win count as she'd win 3 races, including the UAW-Dodge 400, though she once again scored 3 wins in the Nationwide Series, including the Food City 250. She also showed some strength in the truck series as she won a race at Kansas and in the ARCA Series as she won 2 races in the ARCA Series with her first being Toledo on her way to finishing 9th in points. She then added 2 wins in the East Series (Walkin's Glen and Lime Rock) on her way to finishing 12th in points there, 29 points ahead of 13th. She then added a win in the west series at Miller and a win in the USAR Nothern Series at Milwaukee. Though she'd show stronger strength in the USAR Southern Series as she'd win 3 races with those being USA International, Milwaukee, and Bristol, finishing 9th in points.

In the 2008 Chase, Truex Princess surprised a lot of people as she came 3rd in the Superior Chase with 7 wins, and 2nd in the ARCA Chase, 185 points behind 1st. Despite not making the Overall Chase, she showed her good ways there as she won 5 races, by winning 3 Nationwide races & 2 Truck races. She made up for it, though, in the East Series as she won the championship, 29 points over 2nd with a series-high 2 wins. But she fell short in the end as she finished 10th in the USAR Champions Chase.
