Martin Truex Jr. wins at New Hampshire Motor Speedway where he watched his dad race
Martin Truex Jr. had just chewed up the competition to win at the same New Hampshire track where his dad won a regional stock car series race in 1994 when he clutched a 22-pound live lobster given to the winner and chomped on a claw.
Truex has few boxes left to check in his career. The latest came in yet another masterful Monday matinee when he won at New Hampshire Motor Speedway for the first time in 30 career Cup tries. The win did more than earn him a big meal – it triggered melancholy memories from his childhood at the same track where he watched his dad share space with some of racing’s greats.
Time is ticking on a decision. Truex announced last June that he would return for 2023 and he hasn’t made up his mind yet on 2024. Gibbs needs an answer. So do the sponsors and all other interested parties affected by Truex’s decision. “They deserve the very best driver, the guy that wants it more than anyone else, and I’ve been that guy,” Truex said. “I want to make sure that if I come back, I’m willing to do that. It takes a lot. It’s not just show up at the track, drive the car, go home. It takes a lot. It takes a lot of commitment. It’s a lot of travel. A lot of time missing things with family and friends and all those things that I’ve done for 25 years.
It really didn’t matter for Truex. He pulled away off the restart with nine laps left and could taste victory – and soon enough, the lobster that traditionally goes to the winner.
