Race Day Authentics statement
Race Day Authentics appears to be making it right:
“Earlier this morning, we received a phone call from Martin Truex’s team regarding the trophies and stuff we purchased late Tuesday evening from an individual.”
“The person we purchased them from worked alongside Martin for over 10 years and sold the trophies to us under the assumption he had been gifted them as he was clearing out his house.”
“We have been in contact with Martin all day and we have a plan in place to get the trophies back to the their rightful owner.”
“As all of our customers and teams we deal with know, we are not the type of people to go out and damage our reputation over something like this. We were lied to by the person we bought them from and we appreciate everybody being understanding with this matter.”
“Thank you to all of our customers who continue to support us through everything and we hope to continue to bring you some more exciting stuff soon!”
