In the end, Martin Truex Jr.’s decision to make the 2024 NASCAR season his last as a full-time decision came down to a feeling – and it wasn’t a bad one.
For the last couple years, Truex has made year-to-year decisions on whether to return the following season – usually putting it off as long as possible. But the debate was never over performance on the track. Even though he remains without a win so far this year, Truex insisted results played no role. “We’ve had some disappointments this year, for sure,” he said. “But it’s not enough to make you stop doing what you want to do. Totally not related to performance in any way, shape or form.
“I would say, I achieved more than I ever thought I would,” Truex said of his career. “That being said, there’s still a lot of heartbreakers, a lot of things you could go back and think about ‘Man, I wish that turned out different.’ “You know, won a championship, three runners-up in this format. That’s, I feel like, really good. I’m proud of what I’ve done. I feel like I’ve given it everything I’ve had, and I feel like I was really, really good at what I did. “Yeah, I’m happy with that.
