Overview
- Truex said on Instagram that trophies and keepsakes shown for sale online were listed or sold without his knowledge and hold deep personal significance.
- Race Day Authentics stated it bought the items this week from someone who worked with Truex for over a decade and has coordinated with his team to get them back.
- The platform said the seller falsely claimed the trophies were gifted to him and that it is protecting its reputation by reversing the transaction.
- A fan post first spotlighted the listings, which included the 2023 New Hampshire win trophy, a 2023 regular‑season championship trophy, and NASCAR 75 Greatest Drivers items with listed prices.
- How the seller obtained possession remains unclear, focusing attention on authentication, chain‑of‑custody and safeguards in the motorsports memorabilia market.
