Martin Truex Jr. has taken the NASCAR world by storm, not just for his return to the track at the 2025 Daytona 500, but for the jaw-dropping paint scheme on his #56 Toyota Camry. The design, unveiled by Tricon Garage earlier today, has fans buzzing with excitement, marking a memorable start for the team’s Cup Series debut.
Truex Jr., who announced his retirement at the end of the 2024 season, has left fans wondering if this is his ultimate farewell gift to the sport. Tricon Garage, entering the Cup Series for the first time, made a bold statement with the car’s livery, which fans have deemed one of the best of Truex’s career.
On social media, Tricon Garage shared their excitement with the caption: “Ready to reel in our first Daytona 500.” The design’s sleek, modern aesthetic quickly gained traction among fans. Many compared it to Truex’s liveries during his time at Joe Gibbs Racing, noting that the new look feels like a step above anything seen in the past.
One fan exclaimed, “NOW WHERE WAS THIS PAINT SCHEME WHEN HE WAS WITH JGR. THIS IS FIRE.” Others chimed in with similar praise:
“Holy cow that’s beautiful,” wrote one admirer.
“Where has this beautiful paint scheme been my whole life!” another added.
“First Cup car you’re fielding and you guys nailed it!”
Adding to the emotional connection, the #56 car marks a nostalgic return for Truex Jr., as it was the same number he raced with during his tenure at Michael Waltrip Racing (MWR) from 2010 to 2013. For many fans, seeing him behind the wheel of the #56 again is a heartwarming tribute to his roots in the sport.
Truex Jr.’s partnership with Tricon Garage has already made waves, and the Daytona 500 will undoubtedly be one of the most anticipated events of the season. As NASCAR fans prepare to see this striking car on the track, the buzz surrounding its design is a testament to its impact.
The question remains: Will this stunning paint scheme bring Truex Jr. a storybook ending at the Daytona 500? Fans will eagerly watch to find out.
