From a coastal New Jersey grassroots racer to a multi-time champion, Martin Truex Jr.® has one of the most iconic careers in NASCAR® history. To commemorate Truex’s on-track successes and contributions to the sport, Lionel Racing is excited to honor the 2017 NASCAR Cup Series® champion with a legendary die-cast.
For his fans and those who appreciate his legendary status, it’s time to introduce the Martin Truex Jr.® ICON die-cast.
Truex will put a bookend to a surefire NASCAR Hall of Fame® career when he closes out the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series® season with Joe Gibbs Racing. It will be the culmination of a full-time career that spanned 19 seasons and includes more than 30 NASCAR Cup Series® victories, more than 20 pole position qualifying runs, and the illustrious championship in 2017. In addition, Truex is among the most decorated NASCAR Xfinity Series® drivers in history with 13 wins and back-to-back series championships in 2004 and 2005.
Before making a name for himself in the upper echelons of NASCAR® racing, Truex was a five-time winner in the series now known as the ARCA Menards Series® East after graduating from the go-kart and Modified ranks around his New Jersey home.
Truex’s loyal fan base can now celebrate the driver’s ICON status within the motor sports world with the ICON die-cast from Lionel Racing. Produced with the brand’s latest NASCAR Cup Series® Toyota Camry XSE on the ELITE die-cast tool, this unique die-cast is expertly crafted and fully chrome-plated from bumper to bumper. Each will be produced in a strictly limited edition and will not be remade. Truex’s longtime sponsor, Bass Pro Shopss takes center stage on his No. 19 die-cast just as it has on his NASCAR® rides for many years.
