NASCAR fans, buckle up—Martin Truex Jr. is officially back! After weeks of speculation, the 44-year-old former NASCAR Cup Series champion has confirmed his ride for the 2025 Daytona 500. Truex will headline Tricon Motorsports’ highly anticipated Cup Series debut, marking a monumental moment for the Truck Series powerhouse as they take a bold leap into NASCAR’s top tier.


The big reveal: Truex joins Tricon Motorsports

Truex’s announcement ends a month of intense speculation. Rumors swirled about his potential partnership with Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s JRM or even a surprising stint with MBM Motorsports. However, the suspense broke when Tricon Motorsports revealed their plans via a tweet:

“We’re going beyond the limits of the Truck Series. TRICON will attempt the Daytona 500 in our @NASCAR Cup debut alongside @MartinTruex_Jr and @BassProShops.”

Truex’s return is paired with longtime sponsor Bass Pro Shops, a brand synonymous with his NASCAR success, solidifying the team’s commitment to making a splash on debut.


A legend returns to NASCAR’s biggest stage

Truex, who retired from full-time racing after the 2024 season, remains drawn to NASCAR’s premium events. The Daytona 500 is the ultimate stage for a driver of his caliber—a former Cup Series champion with 34 career victories and a reputation for excelling under pressure.

Speaking on his return, Truex expressed excitement about partnering with Tricon:
“Daytona is special to me, and getting back on track with a team like Tricon is the perfect way to stay connected to the sport I love. They’ve built something incredible in the Truck Series, and I’m honored to help them make their mark in the Cup Series.”


Tricon’s bold leap

For Tricon Motorsports, the move to the Cup Series represents a daring step forward. The team, known for its strong presence in the Truck Series, is looking to make an immediate impact by entering NASCAR’s most prestigious race. Teaming up with a driver of Truex’s stature sends a clear message: Tricon isn’t here just to participate—they’re here to compete.


Bass Pro Shops stays in the mix

Truex’s partnership with Bass Pro Shops, a brand that has been a cornerstone of his NASCAR journey, adds another layer of significance to this announcement. The brand’s continued support underscores the mutual trust and value between Truex and his longtime sponsor, ensuring the team has a strong commercial foundation.


A star-studded Daytona lineup

Truex’s return to the Daytona 500 adds another layer of intrigue to what is shaping up to be one of the most competitive fields in recent memory. With Justin Allgaier making his Cup Series debut for JRM and other big names aiming for glory, the 2025 Daytona 500 promises to be a blockbuster event.


What’s next?

The countdown to February 16 is on, and the anticipation is building. Tricon Motorsports and Martin Truex Jr. have set the stage for an unforgettable debut, blending the experience of a champion with the hunger of a team aiming to make its mark.

For Truex fans, this isn’t just a comeback—it’s a chance to see a legend chase glory once more on NASCAR’s grandest stage.
