Martin Truex Jr. has finally decided to end his Cup career at the conclusion of the 2024 season, but said he still plans “to be around” NASCAR.
Truex , 43, has mulled retirement from Cup the last several years which has resulted in him signing one-year renewal with Joe Gibbs Racing and putting off a decision each year as long as possible. On Friday at Iowa Speedway, Truex made his decision official – he will step away from JGR’s No. 19 Toyota team at the end of the year regardless of how his season plays out.

I think we have two 40-year-olds at the top of their game right now.” Truex’s Cup career has spanned nearly 20 years with 673 starts. His first Cup win came in 2007 at his home track of Dover Motor Speedway.
