Ryan Truex
Ryan Matthew Truex (born March 18, 1992) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He competes part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving the No. 24 Toyota GR Supra for Sam Hunt Racing. As a reserve driver for Joe Gibbs Racing in the Cup and Xfinity Series, he also competes part-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, driving No. 11 Toyota Camry XSE for JGR.
Truex's older brother Martin was the 2017 NASCAR Cup Series champion.
A native of Mayetta, New Jersey, Truex would make his East Series debut in 2008 at Stafford Motor Speedway in the No. 8 car for Dale Earnhardt, Inc. Truex won the 2009 NASCAR Camping World East Series Championship as a seventeen-year-old high school student at Southern Regional High School.
In the eleven-race season, Truex finished the season with eight top-fives. He had three wins at Watkins Glen, Thompson, and Lime Rock Park.
In 2010, Truex won his second consecutive Camping World East Series title in a Michael Waltrip-owned Toyota.
Truex competed in six NASCAR Nationwide Series events, beginning at Gateway International Raceway on July 17, 2010. Truex was intended to run for Rookie of the Year in 2011 with MWR. However, motocross stunt performer Travis Pastrana ran the No. 99 for seven races. Truex planned to skip ROTY and run ten consecutive races in the Nationwide Series, then twenty races in 2012, though surgery forced him out of the 99 at Texas and was replaced by David Reutimann and team owner Waltrip, who drove at the restrictor plate tracks. Waltrip and Ryan's brother Martin also split time in the ride.
Due to a lack of sponsorship in the 99 team, Truex was released from Pastrana Waltrip Racing after the STP 300. Truex returned to the Nationwide Series with Joe Gibbs Racing, running several races late in the 2011 season. In 2012, he drove for Tommy Baldwin Racing in the season-opening DRIVE4COPD 300 at Daytona International Speedway, finishing 31st. He ran a limited schedule for JGR, while he also drove for RAB Racing at Texas Motor Speedway in April.
On June 2, 2012, Truex got a career best finish of second at Dover International Speedway driving for JGR. Racing shortly after an emergency appendectomy, he started the race first after winning his first career Nationwide Series pole, and led late before being caught in lapped traffic by Joey Logano.
