Martin Truex Jr. will return to the NASCAR Cup Series in the No. 19 Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing in 2024, Truex told media Saturday (Aug. 5).
Truex, who currently leads the NASCAR Cup Series standings, has won three times this season bouncing back from a difficult 2022 season that featured zero wins and missing the playoffs. Now, Truex will be back for more in 2024.
The 2017 champion has 34 total wins in the Cup Series. It will be his 21st season in the top division of stock car racing and his sixth with JGR.
The 43-year-old will continue to race with Gibbs this weekend at Michigan International Speedway and fight for a second championship tomorrow, Aug. 6 at 2 p.m. ET. Broadcasting will be provided by USA Network.

Good for Martin.
It would be silly to leave while he’s still contending. The end will come soon enough. The next time he hits a drought, he should retire.
