Martin Truex Jr. has been a cornerstone of our team, bringing a level of skill, dedication, and passion that has elevated us to new heights. His career is a testament to resilience and perseverance. From his early days battling for recognition to becoming one of the most respected and successful drivers in the history of the Cup Series, Martin’s story is one of inspiration.

That championship season was a culmination of years of hard work and determination, a moment that will forever be etched in the annals of NASCAR history.
Beyond the victories and the titles, Martin’s impact extends far beyond the track.
