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.
