Martin Truex Jr. grew up in New Jersey wanting to follow his dad into racing. Martin Truex, though, mostly raced on free weekends when he wasn’t running Sea Watch International, which harvests and processes clam products.

The Joe Gibbs Racing driver worked as a teenager on his dad's clamming boat, often rising before dawn ahead of a day spent on choppy waters, knowing even then that life at sea wasn't for him.

"I'm glad I figured out how to go fast so I could get the hell off that boat," Truex said.
