FILE - Martin Truex Jr. waves to fans before Daytona 500 qualifying auto races at Daytona International Speedway, Feb. 15, 2024, in Daytona Beach, Fla. Truex announced his retirement from full-time racing Friday, June 14, 2024, saying it was time to live by his own schedule after 19 full-time seasons as a NASCAR Cup Series driver. NEWTON, Iowa — Martin Truex Jr.
“I was leaning that way most of the season,” Truex said. “I was leaning that direction, but I wasn’t totally sure. So I just took a while to think about it all. It’s a big decision. It affects not just me, it affects a lot of people.” “Martin’s a very chill guy,” Brad Keselowski said. “I don’t know what the next chapter of his life will be — I don’t think he knows. But he’ll be missed.”
