The big news of the week is the fact that Martin Truex Jr. is retiring from full-time NASCAR competition at the end of the season. NASCAR President Steve Phelps offered his own comment on the matter.
Martin Truex Jr. is easily a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Everything that he has done on the track and beyond proves as much. Now that his retirement is almost here, it is hard to imagine that the 20-year ride is over.
Steve Phelps shared much of the same sentiment in his remarks.
“Martin Truex Jr. has been a consistent figure over the last two-plus decades in NASCAR – a consistent winner, champion and fan-favorite,” Phelps said, via Jordan Bianchi of The Athletic. “Though he especially excelled on NASCAR’s biggest stages, Martin performed his craft with a quiet tenacity, allowing his immense success [to] tell his incredible story. On behalf of the France Family and all of NASCAR, I congratulate Martin on a wonderful career and wish him the best of luck for the remainder of his final full-time season.”
Next season will be different.
This is a developing story…
