Martin Truex Jr, who reached the pinnacle of NASCAR racing eight years ago by winning the Cup Series championship, is now channeling his energy into a new venture off the track. Following his retirement from full-time racing at the end of 2024, Truex Jr has launched a private jet company focused on life-saving medical transport, combining his love for speed with a mission to serve critical healthcare needs.
From Racing Tracks to Medical Air Transport
Martin Truex Jr‘s transition from NASCAR to aviation came from years of flying to races across the country. His new business, MTJ Aviation, offers private jet services with a unique purpose: providing 24/7 medical flights to support Transplant Centers nationwide. The company’s guiding principle is clear—
“One Organ, One Flight, One Life”
—highlighting its dedication to urgent medical missions.
Truex Jr explained his motivation behind starting this innovative company:
“I decided to launch a private aviation charter company because of our experience flying to NASCAR races every weekend over the last decade or so.”
MTJ Aviation offers a refreshing alternative because there are no fractional ownerships or long-term contracts, we simply fly you from point A to point B safely at a reasonable cost.

Prioritizing Safety in Every Flight
Given the critical nature of its cargo, MTJ Aviation places utmost importance on safety protocols. The company combines extensive experience in managing turbine aircraft with a commitment to delivering VIP-level service. This approach ensures passengers can trust the service from takeoff to landing.
With decades of experience managing and maintaining turbine aircraft, we offer a private charter experience that’s unmatched in the aviation industry. From the moment the wheels are off the ground to the second you touch down, you’ll experience VIP flight services with a relentless focus on safety.

Truex Jr’s Racing Legacy and Future Prospects
Although Martin Truex Jr stepped away from full-time competition, he made a notable appearance at the 2025 Daytona 500, where he finished 38th.
