Martin Truex Jr. of Joe Gibbs Racing has announced his retirement from full-time NASCAR Cup Series competition at the end of the 2024 season. The New Jersey native drives the No.19 Bass Pro Shops Toyota Camry TRD. Speaking about the news, David Wilson, President of TRD U.S.A commented saying:
“Martin has been a fierce competitor, champion and loyal friend to Toyota and TRD for over a decade. He is the only NASCAR driver to win Cup races in a Toyota Camry across three different race team organizations – a remarkable achievement. His genuine personality and consistent performance have made him a fan favorite and someone who will truly be missed on-track each week. Martin’s racing achievements highlight just how talented of a racer he is, and his outstanding work off-track with the Martin Truex Jr. Foundation showcases the incredible person he continues to be. Martin is a future Hall of Famer, and someone we will always be honored to call a part of the Team Toyota family.”
Truex Jr won the NASCAR Cup Series championship in 2017.
