Martin Truex Jr.'s NASCAR journey isn't quite over, but his chance of becoming a multi-time Cup champion did end with his elimination in the opening round of the 2024 playoffs. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver at least had one championship to his name, in 2017, as well as three championship runner-ups. It's reflective of his time in NASCAR in a way, which was a rather unusual one spanning over two decades and saw an unlikely rise in the second half of his career. Respected throughout the paddock and even to rivals for being a clean driver, what else does he leave as his legacy? When the checkered flag waves on MTJ's full-time career, what will he be remembered for?
