Martin Truex Jr. and Tricon Garage Aim for Daytona 500 Glory

The retired NASCAR champion will team up with Tricon Garage for their Cup Series debut, seeking an elusive Daytona 500 win.

Martin Truex Jr., the 2017 NASCAR Cup Series champion, will return to racing for the 2025 Daytona 500 after retiring from full-time competition in 2024.
Truex will drive the No. 56 Toyota Camry for Tricon Garage, marking the team's first-ever NASCAR Cup Series entry.
The effort is supported by a technical alliance with Joe Gibbs Racing, longtime sponsor Bass Pro Shops, and Truex's former championship-winning crew chief, Cole Pearn.
Truex has competed in 20 Daytona 500 races but has yet to secure a win, with his closest finish being a runner-up by 0.010 seconds in 2016.
As an open entry, Tricon Garage must qualify for the race through the Daytona Duels, competing against a strong field of challengers.
