Martin Truex Jr Reveals 5-Word Burden as Questions Over His Ex

Anytime a NASCAR racer’s contract is set to expire, it sparks a frenzy of speculation—where will they go next and what are their plans? But in the curious case of Martin Truex Jr, the chatter has shifted and everyone is wondering if retirement is on the horizon.

But they are not wrong to speculate because he did decide to call it quits in 2022 itself. But JGR didn’t want to lose such a gem and persuaded him to stay for another season. Now with another strong season under his belt and a powerful position on the scoreboard, the community can’t help but wonder about his retirement. Although a little birdie told us that he might just have hinted on it to Bob Pockrass for Fox Sports.

Joe Gibbs Racing probably wants Truex Jr. to stick around with them for as long as possible. But we are not sure if he wants to stick around. In an interview ahead of the Darlington race with Fox Sports, he was blunt and said he hadn’t discussed his plans with anyone and he just focused on racing. But he did say that—he needs to put thought into it! He said, “Not sure. I haven’t really talked to anyone about it all yet so I’ve just been kinda focused on the racing part and not really thinking about it. As every year it happens, it sneaks up on you.” He further said there is still “a little time” before he starts thinking seriously and weighs in on the idea of whether he wants to come back next season or not

His exit rumors are further solidified by another whisper stating that Ryan Truex, his brother, is set to replace him. Ryan Truex has performed well in partial races with JGR in the Xfinity Series, but he doesn’t yet have a full-time seat. If this news is true, Ryan Truex would likely secure a seat in the Xfinity series. Provided that JGR decides to promote him from his current position. But no official statement or confirmation has come as of yet regarding this.
