Martin Truex Jr. is an iconic name in modern NASCAR. Of course, he’s a 2017 Cup Series Champion. Moreover, he drove for one of the NASCAR legends, Dale Earnhardt, on his racing team. However, during his time with Dale Earnhardt Inc. Truex Jr, got a little too loose.

A police officer caught the Joe Gibbs Racing driver drunk.

Back in 2007, Truex Jr. was having a bit of fun when he went out to have a drink. Unfortunately, he ended up having a little too much and ended up urinating in public. This is when things took a turn for the words as a police officer also caught the driver.

The police officer joked around with the driver as he said, “I bet that’s worth a hundred bucks.”

To which the JGR driver replied, “It is worth a hundred bucks”

This led to the NASCAR driver pulling out a $100 bill.

The decisions Truex Jr made that night were arguably not right, but the conversation that took place between him and the officer was surely hilarious.
