Is Martin Truex Jr. moving on too soon, or is it time for a fresh start?

Veteran Joe Gibbs Racing driver Martin Truex Jr. has been among the favorites within the NASCAR community. Over the years, Truex Jr. has made a reputation of being the most respected driver, and this is because of his style of racing and out-of-the-box personality traits. However, apart from his career, fans have grown fond of his personal life, and the veteran driver left the fans shell-shocked with his appearance at the 2024 NASCAR Awards.

Now it’s hard to guess whether or not the former JGR driver has linked up with his rumored new girlfriend. But Emily Collins sharing the Red Carpet event with Truex has certainly sparked rumors about the potential links between the two.

The JGR star has been relatively private about his personal life. However, Emily Collins featuring alongside him at the Red Carpet event might be an indication of his new relationship. This could be seen as a public acknowledgment of a new bond between Martin Truex and Collins. But who is Emily Collins, and how did she meet with the NASCAR star?

Truex Jr. was in a long-term relationship with Sherry Pollex, but after a nine-year battle with cancer, she passed away in 2023. However, just before her death, the couple had announced that they had ended their relationship. According to Nayag, this is where Truex Jr. found his new love, Emily Collins. Not a lot is known about Collins for the time being, but she has been posting about the chemistry she shares with the NASCAR driver on her socials.

Now if you know Martin Truex Jr., he isn’t too active on social media and often keeps his distance from media. It’s not something deliberate, but that’s just the way he is. “He (Truex Jr.) is terrible at text messages, and if you don’t, you know, you might not hear from him for damn months. He’s that kind of friend.” This is how his good friend Dale Earnhardt Jr. described him after Truex Jr. announced his retirement.

So, there’s a huge possibility that he might have been dating Emily Collins for a long time, but it was kept under wraps. However, he decided to bring her to the NASCAR Awards, and that just might be his way of saying that he is officially dating Collins. Reports suggest when Emily Collins appeared alongside MTJ at the 2023 NASCAR Awards ceremony in Nashville, that was the former Joe Gibbs driver introducing his new partner to the motorsports world. He is also a regular feature in Collins’ TikTok videos. However, unless either one of them confirms their relationship, this theory is nothing more than an educated guess. Given that MTJ has called it quits from racing, fans might know more about his personal life now than ever before.

Both Sherry and Martin Truex Jr. started dating in 2005; this was the year when the driver won his first title, clinching the Busch Series with Chance 2 Motorsports. The couple had shared the best moments on the tracks with Truex’s championship win in 2017 and also hit the lows with Sherry’s battle with ovarian cancer.

However, just before the start of the 2023 season, they announced that they would be ending their 18-year relationship. Late in the year, Pollex passed away after fighting the gruesome disease for nine long years. The driver shared a message on social media after her death: “I would like to extend my deepest condolences to her entire family, who have shown incredible strength and resilience throughout her battle.” This was the last exchange MTJ had about Pollex. And it seems he’s now entered a new chapter in his personal life.
