Martin Truex Jr Net Worth

Martin Truex Jr Net Worth: Martin Truex Jr is an American stock car racing driver who has a net worth of $30 million. Born Martin Lee Truex Jr. on June 29, 1980, in Mayetta, New Jersey, US, he currently drives the no. 56 Toyota Camry for Michael Waltrip Racing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Martin Truex Jr's path to NASCAR leads back to his youth while he worked on a clam boat for his father's family-owned seafood business, SeaWatch International, seated in Mayetta, N.J. The money that he earned let him hone his skills as a driver in the go-karts and Northeastern modifieds. Truex Jr's early success was soon translated into the NASCAR world where he won Nationwide Series championships and earned a full-time ride in the Sprint Cup Series. Actually, he was only eighteen when he won his first feature Modified event. By 2000, Truex Jr's father (a former NASCAR race winner himself) allowed him to take the helm of his Busch North Series ride. Later that season, he turned out the winner of the Busch North Series event at the New Hampshire International Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire. It was in 2001 that Truex Jr made his NASCAR Busch Series debut at Dover International Speedway driving for his family-owned team. Ever since, he has carved out a successful stock car racing career for himself, an effort that has certainly paid off. As of today, Truex sure plans to keep the momentum going with teammates Clint Bowyer, Mark Martin, Brian Vickers and Michael Waltrip that will help keep Michael Waltrip Racing in contention for its first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship. Beyond the track, he is also playing an instrumental role in promoting the NAPA Know How marketing campaign. Furthermore, the 32-year-old racer is making enormous contribution to various community programs and initiatives via his Martin Truex Jr. Foundation, which has managed to raise more than $1 million in just five years. But just as his victory totals, Truex plans to increase those numbers in the coming years.
