NASCAR veteran Martin Truex Jr. could very well part ways from Joe Gibbs Racing in 2025, according to latest reports.
Former two-time Xfinity Series champion and a Cup veteran, Truex has been long contemplating his retirement from the sport. The 43-year-old, who won the Cup Series in 2017, was said to be bidding adieu to NASCAR at the end of his contract last season but signed a one-year extension with Joe Gibbs Racing.Truex’s contemplation of retirement has been ongoing for the past three seasons. Although he failed to secure a finish higher than fourth place in 2022, he returned for the 2023 season on a one-year deal, ultimately clinching three victories and the regular season championship. Similarly, he decided to continue racing in 2024 with yet another one-year contract.
