Toyota has been increasing its performance in the 2024 season, according to Martin Truex Jr. The Japanese car manufacturer made significant improvements early in the season, resulting in three wins in eight races so far. Truex Jr. reveals the reasons behind Toyota’s recent dominance.
When Toyota entered NASCAR in 2007, they initially lagged behind other manufacturers. However, they have since recovered and are now on par with their competitors. In the 2024 season, Truex Jr. secured two wins, while another driver secured a single win for Toyota.
Truex Jr. praises the design of the new Camry, stating that it has put them in a strong position to perform well on all types of tracks. The car is well-balanced and provides a stable platform for racing, which was lacking in its predecessor. The Japanese manufacturer has successfully maximized performance within the established regulations.
Despite facing some setbacks, Truex Jr. expresses satisfaction with his team, JGR. He has consistently been one of the top five drivers throughout the season, although luck is not always on his side. However, he believes a win is within reach due to the speed of his Toyota.
Truex Jr. is optimistic about his chances in the upcoming race in Texas, where he qualified in ninth place. He intends to make the right moves and compete for a win. However, there are several strong competitors in the mix, promising an exciting race for fans at TMS.
