Been through so many ups and downs with @MartinTruex_Jr - loyal friend to #TeamToyota and #TRD through them all. A #champion for sure, but most importantly just a good person. Congrats my friend. Let's go get some more. 🍸🏁

Believe in yourself. Do not doubt. Do not compare. Society suggests we do both. Be kind to others. Ask how they're doing. You may save them. Exhaust your effort to cultivate your blessings. Have undeniable positive energy. If you love them, tell them. You cannot lose.

Between Kyle Busch's last moments with Joe Gibbs Racing and COO Coy Gibbs' passing, it was an emotional day at the track. @jeff_gluck shadowed Busch as he said goodbye to what could be the final M&M's-branded car ever in a NASCAR race. "It's hard, man." https://t.co/ZV4Wtop4OG

I don't have a favorite tonight amongst our @ToyotaRacing #TundraTRD drivers, but I'd be just fine if our family at @KBMteam gets one more win, one more Championship. Beyond proud and grateful for their partnership and friendship over the years. #TeamToyota #NASCAR
98 wins. 7 Owner Championships. 2 Driver Championships. 1 more shot at it. Thank you, @ToyotaRacing. 🤝 #TeamToyota
