Muchos miembros de la familia de Truex Jr. son conductores de NASCAR actuales o jubilados. Su hermano menor Ryan compite a tiempo completo en la NASCAR Camping World Truck Series para Niece Motorsports y es dos veces campeón consecutivo en lo que ahora se conoce como ARCA Menards Series East . Su padre, Martin Sr., compitió a tiempo completo en la Serie Este en la década de 1990. Su tío Barney compitió a tiempo parcial en el Whelen Modified Tour en la década de 1980. [1] Sus primos, Curtis Truex Jr. y Tyler Truex, son pilotos de carreras de último modelo . [2] [3]
Carrera temprana
Hijo del corredor Martin Truex Sr. , Martin Jr.comenzó su carrera como piloto de karts en el New Egypt Speedway , ubicado en el centro de Nueva Jersey , cuando todavía era una pista pavimentada (la pista se cambió más tarde a tierra). Truex Jr. se trasladaría a la división Modificada en el Wall Stadium en 1998, tan pronto como tuviera la edad suficiente para correr un auto a la edad de 18 años (según las regulaciones de Nueva Jersey). [3]
En 2000, Truex se mudó al sur y le alquiló una casa a Dale Earnhardt Jr. en Mooresville, Carolina del Norte , y finalmente compró su propia casa allí. Siguiendo los pasos de su padre, comenzó a correr en la Busch North Series . Corrió tres temporadas completas (2000 a 2002) y tuvo largadas limitadas en 2003. Truex reclamó 13 poles y 5 victorias conduciendo su Chevy N ° 56 SeaWatch Chevy, propiedad de su familia.
NASCAR
2001-2005: Serie Busch
Truex hizo su primera salida en la Serie Busch en 2001 en Dover International Speedway en el Chevy No. 56 de su padre. Comenzó 19º pero terminó 38º después de un naufragio temprano. En 2002 , Truex condujo una carrera para Phoenix Racing en el New Hampshire International Speedway , comenzando 13º y terminando 29º. Corrió tres carreras el resto de esa temporada para su padre, su mejor resultado decimoséptimo en Dover.
En 2003 , comenzó la temporada con el equipo de su padre, antes de que Dale Earnhardt Jr. lo contratara para conducir su Chevy No. 81 Chance 2 Motorsports . Hizo su debut con Chance 2 en Richmond International Raceway , donde se clasificó sexto y lideró 11 vueltas antes de que una falla en la transmisión lo obligara a terminar en el puesto 31. Dividió el tiempo entre Chance 2 y el equipo de su padre durante el resto de la temporada, excepto en Dover, donde condujo para Stanton Barrett . Tuvo un sexto lugar en el Bristol Motor Speedway y terminó la temporada con dos segundos puestos consecutivos. Corrió un total de diez carreras esa temporada.
Truex compitió a tiempo completo para Chance 2 en 2004. En Bristol Motor Speedway, obtendría la primera victoria de su carrera, y luego sumaría tres victorias más en las siguientes siete carreras. Esto incluiría una victoria en Talladega Superspeedway, que rompió la racha del dueño de su auto de ganar carreras con placas restrictivas en la Serie Busch, y una victoria en el evento final de NASCAR celebrado en Nazareth Speedway . Tomó el liderato en el campeonato después de Nazaret, pero lo perdió ante el novato Kyle Busch unas carreras más tarde. Sin embargo, una serie de Top 5 y Top 10 en la segunda mitad de la temporada permitiría a Truex alejarse de Busch, asegurando el campeonato de la Serie Busch con una carrera de sobra.
Mientras se dirigía a ese campeonato, Truex hizo una aparición en la Serie de la Copa Nextel como piloto de relevo de Dale Earnhardt Jr., quien había sufrido quemaduras en un accidente automovilístico deportivo. Truex comenzó la primera carrera de su carrera en la Copa para Dale Earnhardt, Inc. (DEI) en el No. 1 en Atlanta Motor Speedway más tarde ese año, clasificando 33º y terminando 37º.
Truex permaneció en la Serie Busch para defender su campeonato en 2005, ganando el título por segunda temporada consecutiva. Ganó la primera carrera por puntos de la Serie Busch realizada fuera de Estados Unidos, en México, además de defender sus victorias en Talladega y Dover International Speedway . Consiguió su primera victoria en el Daytona International Speedway el 1 de julio de 2005.
2006–2008: Dale Earnhardt, Inc.
En 2006, Truex pasó al No. 1 DEI Chevy a tiempo completo en la Serie de la Copa Nextel. Tuvo dos Top 5 y terminó 19º en puntos. Truex consiguió su primera victoria de la temporada 2007 en el NASCAR Nextel All-Star Open, asegurando un lugar en el Nextel All-Star Challenge 2007 , donde terminó décimo.
Unas semanas más tarde, ganó Autism Speaks 400 , anotando su primera victoria en la Copa Sprint con un intervalo de siete segundos entre el pole sitter Ryan Newman y él mismo, a pesar de que lideró más de la mitad de la carrera, 219 de las 400 vueltas.
Esta victoria lo llevó a un salto en los puntos generales que lo llevaron al puesto 13, seguido de un tercer lugar en Pocono Raceway y un segundo lugar en Michigan . Con un puesto 15 en el Chevy Rock and Roll 400 , Truex se aseguró un lugar en su primera Caza por la Copa Sprint y terminó 11º en puntos al final de la temporada. No fue al carril de la victoria en 2008, pero sí tuvo 11 Top 10 y terminó 15º en la clasificación de puntos.
2009: Earnhardt Ganassi Racing
A principios de la temporada 2009, Dale Earnhardt, Inc. se fusionó con Chip Ganassi Racing y pasó a llamarse Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing con Felix Sabates . El movimiento fue en efecto un cierre de DEI, y el No. 1 de Truex se trasladó a Ganassi para reemplazar al desaparecido No. 41 de Reed Sorenson . Truex comenzó el año ganando la pole para las 500 Millas de Daytona . Más adelante en la temporada, Truex había logrado dos poles más en Atlanta y Phoenix, luego de su primera pole desde 2007 en Texas. [4]
2009 sería la única temporada de Truex Jr. con Earnhardt Ganassi Racing, ya que partió después de la temporada y fue reemplazado por Jamie McMurray . [5] [6]
2010-2013: Michael Waltrip Racing
2010-2011
Al final de la temporada 2009, Truex dejó Earnhardt Ganassi Racing para conducir el Toyota Camry No. 56 por Michael Waltrip Racing , recibiendo puntos de propietario del auto No. 55 anteriormente conducido por Waltrip. El número 56 fue el número que condujo el padre de Martin durante su tiempo en la Gran División Nacional y se considera el "número de la familia". En su primera carrera para Michael Waltrip Racing, Truex terminó sexto en las 500 Millas de Daytona .
Después de la serie de contratiempos de las siguientes tres semanas con un motor quemado y accidentes, retrocedió al puesto 24 en la clasificación de puntos, pero en las siguientes siete carreras después de terminar entre los 12 mejores cinco veces y todos los 19 primeros, ganaría para 13º en la clasificación de puntos. En Dover, obtuvo la quinta pole de su carrera. Truex ganó el All Star Showdown en Charlotte, ganando así el primer lugar de transferencia para la All Star Race, en la que terminó segundo desde un puesto 19 (de 21) de salida. Truex terminaría la temporada 2010 en el puesto 22 en la clasificación de puntos con un resultado entre los 5 primeros y siete entre los 10 primeros.
En Martinsville al año siguiente en 2011, un acelerador atascado hizo que Truex hiciera contacto con Kasey Kahne , lo que provocó un gran accidente; Truex golpeó la pared con fuerza y su auto se incendió durante unos segundos cuando Kahne golpeó la pared en la parte trasera de su auto. Truex se bajó instantáneamente y fue a ver cómo estaba Kahne, quien recibió una gran ovación cuando salió ileso. Truex luego se fue con los funcionarios al centro de atención. Dijo que el accidente fue el más difícil de su carrera y que tanto Truex como Kahne fueron liberados con síntomas normales. La semana siguiente, los funcionarios le dijeron que su accidente fue el más duro en Martinsville. Truex ganó otra pole en Dover International Raceway. Truex corrió bien en la mayoría de las carreras, pero a menudo tuvo problemas para terminar las carreras. Fue atracado 25 puntos debido a una violación del parabrisas en la carrera de otoño de Talladega. Terminó la temporada 18º en puntos, con tres Top 5 y 12 top 10. [7]
2012
Truex comenzó bien el 2012, ganó un bono de $ 200,000 y terminó séptimo en las 500 Millas de Daytona. Finalmente logró su ritmo en Texas, ganando la pole y liderando 69 vueltas. La semana siguiente en Kansas partió sexto y dominó la carrera a toda máquina, liderando 173 de 267 vueltas, pero quedando corto frente a Denny Hamlin . En Atlanta, lideró 40 de las últimas 46 vueltas, pero finalmente se quedó corto frente a Hamlin nuevamente cuando se vio obligado a entrar en boxes bajo una bandera amarilla por combustible, terminando cuarto. Truex terminó 21 °, sin embargo, tenía un lugar asegurado en la Caza, y finalmente lo logró. Terminó 11 ° en los puntos, con cero victorias, siete Top 5 y 19 Top 10. [8]
2013
Truex tuvo una temporada 2013 de altibajos. Tuvo algunos resultados entre los cinco primeros en las primeras carreras. Su primera mejor carrera de 2013 fue Texas, cuando lideró durante las últimas 55 vueltas de la carrera, pero terminó perdiendo ante Kyle Busch . Truex también tuvo notas bajas, incluido un accidente en Martinsville y un motor quemado en Dover. El punto culminante de la temporada fue en Sonoma, cuando Truex rompió una racha de 218 carreras sin ganar, comenzando 14º en la parrilla de salida y avanzando para ganar por más de ocho segundos sobre Jeff Gordon . La racha de 218 carreras sin victorias de Truex es superada solo por Bill Elliott , quien se quedó sin victorias en 226 carreras entre 1994 y 2001. Es solo la segunda vez que un auto número 56 gana en la división más alta de NASCAR, siendo el primero Jim Hurtubise en 1966. Carrera de Atlanta.
Al regresar a Bristol , Truex estuvo involucrado en un accidente en la vuelta 448 donde su auto chocó contra una pared interior en un ángulo en el que se rompió la muñeca derecha; continuó corriendo a pesar de llevar un yeso en la muñeca derecha. [9] En Atlanta, a pesar de tener una muñeca rota, Truex terminó tercero detrás de Kyle Busch y Joey Logano .
En la última carrera de la temporada regular en Richmond, Truex estaba en medio de una feroz batalla por el último puesto de comodín, y finalmente superó a Ryan Newman en un desempate. Como Newman y Truex obtuvieron una victoria cada uno, el puesto de comodín fue para Truex, por tener un mejor número de resultados entre los cinco primeros que Newman; sin embargo, el lunes por la noche, se anunció que debido a que MWR intentó manipular los resultados de la carrera, se evaluaron penalizaciones de puntos (50 puntos para Truex, Clint Bowyer y Brian Vickers cada uno) que resultaron en que Truex fuera expulsado de la Caza y Newman. y Jeff Gordon se agregó al campo de la Caza, así como libertad condicional para los 3 jefes de equipo, suspensión de Ty Norris y una multa de $ 300,000. [10] En las últimas 10 carreras de la temporada, Truex tuvo 4 resultados entre los 10 primeros, que incluyeron una carrera entre los 5 primeros en Homestead-Miami Speedway .
2014-2018: Furniture Row Racing
2014
El 14 de octubre de 2013, se anunció que el No. 56 de Michael Waltrip Racing se convertiría en un equipo de investigación y desarrollo en 2014, y luego se separó . [11] [12] A Truex le dijeron que podía ofrecer sus servicios como piloto a otros equipos, y el 17 de octubre se confirmó que para la temporada 2014 de la NASCAR Sprint Cup Series , Truex se trasladaría a Furniture Row Racing y conduciría el No. 78 Chevrolet está siendo desocupado por Kurt Busch . [13] Cuando el acuerdo se anunció formalmente el 1 de noviembre de 2013, antes de la carrera de Texas, se anunció que Furniture Row también había firmado a todos los miembros del equipo de boxes MWR de Truex. [14]
La temporada 2014 de Truex comenzó con una carrera de clasificación desde la pole para las 500 Millas de Daytona , la primera salida de primera fila de Furniture Row Racing en las 500. Sin embargo, el motor de Truex falló en la vuelta 31. [15]
A Truex le fue mal en la primavera, pero se recuperó con 4 top diez en la última parte de la temporada. Solo lideró una vuelta (en Talladega en la carrera de octubre) y terminó 24º en los puntos finales.
2015
Antes de la temporada 2015, el jefe de equipo Todd Berrier fue despedido y reemplazado por el jefe de equipo novato Cole Pearn .
La temporada de Truex comenzó con una nota alta. Lideró la mayor cantidad de vueltas del Sprint Unlimited (28 de 75). Lideró tarde, pero después de que un período de bandera roja al final de la carrera borró su ventaja de 5 segundos sobre Joey Logano , Truex perdió su ritmo y terminó segundo detrás de Matt Kenseth . En una entrevista posterior a la carrera, un emocionado Truex dijo: "Necesitábamos esto. La carrera terminó una vez que Kenseth se alejó de mí. Pero necesitábamos esto. Después del último año y medio que he tenido, esto satisface mucho".
Truex continuó con su buen impulso, terminando entre los diez primeros en 14 de las primeras 15 carreras, incluido un subcampeón en Las Vegas. Su único mal resultado durante este período fue un 29º puesto en Bristol, siete vueltas atrás, luego de ser arrastrado por un accidente al final de la carrera. En Kansas, Truex lideró la mayor cantidad de vueltas (95), pero una bandera amarilla tardía acabó con sus posibilidades, ya que retrocedió al noveno lugar en el último reinicio y no pudo recuperar suficiente terreno para alcanzar a Jimmie Johnson .
At the Coca-Cola 600, Truex led the most laps (131 of 400), but with 20 laps to go he had to make a late race fuel stop and finished 5th. At Dover, Truex led the most laps again (131 of 405), but a poor restart caused him to slide back to seventh and cost him the race to Johnson.
At Pocono, Truex started third, and ran up front for most of the race, leading 97 of 160 laps. On the last restart, he managed to pull away to a 1.8-second lead on Kevin Harvick to take the checkered flag in first place. For Truex, this snapped a 69 race winless streak, and was also the fourth straight points race in which he led the most laps. It was the second win for Furniture Row Racing and the first for crew chief Cole Pearn.
With a third-place finish in a rain shortened Michigan race, Truex became the first driver since Richard Petty in 1969 to start a Cup season with 14 top-10 finishes through the first 15 races. At Sonoma, Truex was running in the top 20 until shortly after the first restart, when David Ragan turned him in the esses, which saw Truex crash into a jersey barrier, resulting in a 42nd-place finish.[16] At Daytona, Truex was running up front until he was caught up in a crash on lap 106, relegating him to a 38th-place finish. Despite a string of bad races, Truex nonetheless made the Chase for the Sprint Cup and advanced through the first 2 rounds of the Chase. He also advanced to the final four at Homestead-Miami and went on to finish 4th in the final standings, a then-career best for both FRR and for Truex.
2016
Truex started the 2016 season qualifying 28th for the Daytona 500 and ran up front for most of the day. On the last lap of the Daytona 500, he was positioned behind race leader Matt Kenseth. Heading into turn 3 Denny Hamlin got a big run on Kenseth and tried to pass him but Matt went up to block Hamlin but nearly wrecked in the process and ended up losing the draft leaving Truex as the leading car. After a ferocious race to the finish line Truex losing by 0.010 seconds to Denny Hamlin in the closest Daytona 500 finish in history.
Truex dominated at Texas, leading 141 of 334 laps but lost after not making a pit stop with less than 39 laps to go. At Kansas in May, Truex won his first pole of the year and first pole in 147 races in Sprint Cup at Kansas for the running of the Go Bowling 400. Truex led a race high 172 laps but a loose wheel relegated him to a 14th-place finish. He won his second pole of the season for the Coca-Cola 600. On May 29—Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, 2016—Truex dominated, leading a record 392 of 400 laps in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, surpassing the old record of 335 laps set by Jim Paschal in 1967. The win was Truex's first of 2016, clinching a place in the Chase for the Sprint Cup at end-of-season. He led the race for 588 miles, the most miles led by any driver in any NASCAR race ever.[17][18]
On September 4, in the Bojangles' Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, Truex won his second race of the year. With 20 laps to go Truex Jr. was on point with Kevin Harvick and Kyle Larson chasing from behind. With 19 laps to go Harvick and Larson found themselves five seconds behind the leader when a caution came out for a hard wreck by the No. 43 machine. With 17 laps to go the field hit pit road for the final time with Truex Jr. winning the battle off pit road. The final restart came with 12 laps to go and immediately Harvick and Larson battled quickly before Harvick eventually took second and then set sail to catch Truex. Luckily For Truex, however, Harvick could not match the number 78 car and Truex would go on to win the Southern 500.[19]
2016 became his first multi-win season of his career. Truex would advance to the next round of the Chase at Chicagoland. Truex led 32 of the final 50 laps and appeared set to finish second behind Chase Elliott. After a caution with 10 laps left erased Elliott's 3-second lead, Truex and Elliott pitted. Truex used advantage of his fresh tires and got by rookie Ryan Blaney on the final restart, winning the race, his third win of the season. At New Hampshire, Truex had a great car all day and would lead the most laps but towards the end his tires would wear, and a few late race cautions came out so he would lose the lead, eventually, Kevin Harvick would win and Truex would finish 7th.
The next week, coming back to Dover, Truex would once again have a great car and would lead the most laps, and would get his 4th win of the season and 7th win of his career after the other dominant driver Jimmie Johnson had a pit road mistake and would be advanced into round 2 of the Chase after his Chicagoland win. He would eventually get eliminated in the Round of 12 after his engine blew up in the elimination race at Talladega and some poor performances in the Round of 12.
2017: Championship year
Truex started the 2017 season off by winning the Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This was Toyota's first win of the season with the new 2018 Camry and Truex's first career win at Las Vegas. He also became the first driver to win all three stages of the new stage format that was introduced for 2017.[20]
At Kansas in May 2017, Truex started 4th. The race was primarily a duel between him and Ryan Blaney. Truex held off Blaney, Kevin Harvick, and a hard-charging Brad Keselowski on three restarts to win the race. At Charlotte, he led the most laps once again, becoming only the second man to lead the most laps in three straight Coca-Cola 600 races, yet only winning one. He tied Darrell Waltrip's record. At Michigan, he won 2 more stage wins, becoming the first and fastest person to ever win 10 stage wins, where nobody else has won more than four, or any other team's combined stage wins.[21] In July, Truex captured his third win of the season, dominating the Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway. He again won all three stages, leading 152 of 267 laps. With two laps to go, Truex had a 14-second lead before a late caution set up an overtime finish. Despite each of the other seven cars behind him pitting during the caution, Truex held off Kyle Busch and Kyle Larson on older tires before a wreck behind the lead pack brought out another yellow flag, this one ending the race.
Truex took home his fourth win of the season in August winning the I Love New York 355 at The Glen, capturing his first win at Watkins Glen International Speedway. After finishing 2nd in the first two segments of the race, Truex took the lead with 36 laps to go from Brad Keselowski, but relinquished the top two spots to Keselowski and Ryan Blaney to save fuel. The strategy paid off, as Keselowski went to pit road with five laps remaining, while Blaney went one lap later, giving Truex the lead. He was able to make it to the finish, holding off Matt Kenseth as he was running out of fuel for his second career road course victory. It was an emotional win for the #78 team, as Pollex returned to victory lane with Truex after missing the Kentucky win due to a cancer recurrence, while his crew chief Cole Pearn helped earn the win while coping with the loss of his best friend, Jacob Damen.
Two races later at the 2017 Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway, Truex had a chance to clinch the first regular season title in NASCAR history if he left with a points lead of 120 points or greater. However, Truex struggled during the early stages of the race and finished 21st[22]
Following an off-week, Truex raced in the Bojangles Southern 500 at Darlington with another chance to wrap up the regular season crown a week before the finale at Richmond. In stage one, Truex ran down Kyle Larson with under a lap to go to win his 16th stage of the year. The exciting finish earned him his 35th playoff point of the season. After being behind both Larson and Denny Hamlin early in the second stage, Truex was able to find the lead, and took the stage victory under caution after an accident occurred with three laps to go. The stage win also clinched Truex the regular season championship, and the additional 15 playoff points that go with the title. Truex seemed to have optimal timing again near the finish, springing to the lead shortly after the final exchange of pit stops in the closing 102-lap run of green-flag racing. However, Denny Hamlin gradually chopped into the lead, setting up a potential classic contest for the lead. With three laps to go, Truex's tire gave way, allowing Hamlin to scoot by and grab his second win of the season. Despite this, Truex clinched the regular season championship.[23]
Before being awarded the regular season championship at Richmond, Truex dominated the Federated Auto Parts 400 leading 50% of the race. However, his race derailed when Denny Hamlin wrecked him on the final restart. Truex, though clinching the regular season championship, expressed discontent with 1990 Daytona 500 champion, Derrike Cope who caused a caution that changed the outcome of the race, leading up to the wreck. The regular season championship was Truex's first top-level championship in his Cup Series career.
Truex started the playoffs on a high note, winning the first race of the playoffs, and his 5th win of the season at Chicagoland Speedway despite a pit road speeding penalty early in the race. With that win, this allowed Truex to secure a spot for the Round of 12. He later earned himself a 5th-place finish at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, although being involved in an 8-car pileup with minor damage midway through the race.
To start off the Round of 12, Truex scored his 6th win of the season at Charlotte after leading 91 out of 334 laps to secure a spot for the Round of 8. Just two weeks later, he scored another win at Kansas despite having a restart violation early in the race, that win extends his active win streak in 1.5 mile tracks to 4, a NASCAR record.[24] The next week, Truex came second to Kevin Harvick in Texas Fall race, snapping the streak at the final 1.5. mile track race in the season. After the Texas Chase race, Truex made the final four in the playoffs by points. He ultimately won the final race at Miami, becoming the 2017 champion, and won 20 of 108 stages, capping off one of the most dominant seasons in recent history.
2018
Truex started off the season with an 18th-place finish at the 2018 Daytona 500, after being caught up in a late race wreck. For the next few weeks, Truex picked up top five finishes for the next five straight races, including two poles, and a win at California. He continued this consistency with wins at Pocono, Sonoma, and Kentucky and 15 top-fives during the regular season. Truex added four top-five finishes during the Playoffs and made the Championship 4 for the second year in a row. He finished second at Homestead to Joey Logano and in the final points standings.
On September 4, 2018, it was announced that Furniture Row Racing will be folding the No. 78 team following the conclusion of the 2018 season. On November 7, 2018, with Furniture Row Racing closing at the end of 2018, it was announced Truex and crew chief Cole Pearn signed a deal with Joe Gibbs Racing to drive the No. 19 starting in the 2019 season, replacing Daniel Suárez and crew chief Dave Rogers.[25]
2019–present: Joe Gibbs Racing
2019
Truex started his first season with JGR with a 35th-place finish at the 2019 Daytona 500, but he made up for that loss with five straight top-10s and two top-20s before scoring four wins at Richmond (his first Cup win on a short track),[26] Dover, Charlotte, and Sonoma. He began the 2019 playoffs by winning the first two races at Las Vegas and Richmond (his first back-to-back career victories and season "sweep" at Richmond) and advancing to the Round of 12 after finishing seventh at the Charlotte Roval.[27] During the Round of 8, Truex won at Martinsville to secure his position in the Championship 4. At the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Truex dominated the first half of the race, winning the first stage and leading into green flag pit stops at the midpoint of stage 2. However, the race and championship hopes unraveled due to a miscue during the pit stop, in which the left and right front tires were switched around, and installed to the incorrect sides. The pit road error forced an unscheduled stop and rendered Truex a lap down for much of the second stage. He recovered and began to rally back through the field, but could not overcome the loss of track position, ultimately finishing second in the race to teammate Kyle Busch and in the final championship standings for the second season in a row.[28] Truex led the series in victories with seven.[29] Truex was also the first driver to lead the series in wins after switching to a new team since Matt Kenseth in 2013, who also did it with Joe Gibbs Racing.[30]
On December 9, after serving as Truex's crew chief for six seasons, Pearn announced he has parted ways with JGR to pursue opportunities outside the sport.[31]
2020
At Martinsville in June, Truex controlled the final 100 laps and won his only race of the season after early-race damage to the front of his car prevented the right-front tire and brake pads from overheating.[32] Truex dominated the final laps of the race at Kentucky but was the victim of a last-lap pass by Cole Custer, the second time in three years that Truex was passed on the final lap by a driver in their first career win.[33] Truex missed the Championship 4 for the first time since 2016 and finished 7th in points.
2021
Despite only scoring one win in their first season paired together, Truex remained with crew chief James Small, even amidst a crew chief shakeup at JGR that year.[34] He won his first race of the season at Phoenix in March, which was his first victory at the track.
In March, Truex made his return to both the Xfinity Series and the Truck Series. He drove JGR's No. 54 at Atlanta in March for his first Xfinity start since 2010 when he drove multiple races for MWR in their No. 00 and No. 99 cars.[35] Truex drove in the Truck Series' Bristol dirt race in the No. 51 for Kyle Busch Motorsports in preparation for the Cup Series race on the same track, new to the schedule, that weekend. It was his first Truck start since 2006, coincidentally also in the No. 51, but he ran for Billy Ballew Motorsports in 2006.[36] He won the race for his first truck series win, becoming the 36th driver to win in all three top NASCAR Series. Despite leading the most laps (122) at the Cup event, Truex would finish 19th after a cut tire with 2 laps to go while running in third.
Two weeks later, Truex won at Martinsville for the third time in his career, his sixth win on a short track, and became the 1st driver to win multiple races in 2021.[37]
On May 9th, 2021, Truex dominated and won the Goodyear 400 at Darlington, earning his 30th career victory, and second at the famed track.
Vida personal
Truex was born in Trenton, New Jersey, and grew up in the Mayetta section of Stafford Township, New Jersey.[38] He graduated from Southern Regional High School in 1998. His father, Martin Truex Sr., was a former race winner in the Busch North Series. His younger brother, Ryan, is a former champion in the K&N Pro Series East, and was a contender for 2014 Rookie of the Year in Sprint Cup.
Truex and his girlfriend Sherry Pollex have been together since 2005. In 2007, they started the Martin Truex Jr. Foundation to support children with pediatric cancer.[39] In 2014, Pollex was diagnosed with Stage III ovarian cancer.[39]
In January 2007, Truex was charged with disorderly conduct after being spotted urinating on his car in a public parking garage by a police officer. Truex, who had been drinking at a bar with members of his team, was fined $100 and issued a public apology.[40]
Truex is an avid fan of the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League and the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League.[41][42][43]
In 2019, Truex's holding company, which holds a small aircraft fleet, entered the human organ transport business.[44]
