The Truex family is from Mayetta which is a little neighborhood in Stafford Township about 30 miles north of Atlantic City. I think their roots in the area go back pretty far. That part of Ocean County was like the middle of nowhere until the 80s.It's not like they were from Philly or New York, someplace where they'd be literally hanging out with connected guys. But I guess it's possible someone made them kick up, who knows?
Says they own Barney’s dock in AC. A marina that controls a commercial fishing fleet. Lost a lawsuit in Massachusetts in 2010 for $2M so I assume it’s not some small operation. It was established in 1987.
ETA- The paper clipping about the trial from 88 listed him from AC so I assume he had something going there even if he lived outside of town in Mayetta. Good info though. Thanks.
