Ross Chastain to Race Select Truck Series Races as Niece Motorsports Announce Lineup for 2024

Countless years of experience bring you a natural talent for the wheel. That is especially true when you have expanded your expertise beyond just one type of racing. The same can be said about Ross Chastain, who has excelled across the three NASCAR racing series. With the 2024 racing season rapidly hurtling towards us, Chastain is getting ready to charm us in both the Cup Series and the Truck Series.

Whatever the Trackhouse Racing driver touches, it may as well turn into gold. He has enrolled in all the series: the Cup Series, the Xfinity Series, and the Craftsman Truck Series. He has brought home accolades from all three. Now, he will be looking to repeat his feats inside the No. 45 Chevrolet Silverado.

Races Ross Chastain will take part in under the Niece Motorsports banner

Talk about versatility, talk about Ross Chastain. Acing races in all three racing series, it seems like Chastain does magic behind the wheel. That is why he may be driving for Niece Motorsports in one of the lower-tier series of NASCAR. Recently, the team announced their driver line-up for #45. Chastain will be competing alongside three-star drivers, Johnny Sauter, Kaden Honeycutt, and Connor Mosack. 

Chastain explained his sentiments when responding to this update. “I’m thankful to Al Niece and everyone at Niece Motorsports for allowing me to get behind the wheel of these Chevrolets. We’re going to do our best to go out and win races and compete for an owner’s championship. It would mean a lot to me to be able to bring that home to Al Niece.”

Niece Motorsports General Manager Cody Efaw said: “Ross means a lot to our organization and we’re appreciative that he continues to come back and race with us.”

Chastain is going to follow a five-part schedule in the 2024 Truck Series. He will compete at the Circuit of The Americas in March. He will then return to Darlington and North Wilkesboro in May. After that he’ll race at Pocono in July and eventually at Indianapolis Raceway Park in August.

Ross Chastain used to race for Chip Ganassi Racing before signing up with Trackhouse Racing. But when due to some issues in CGR, Chastain faced a career glitch courtesy of a sponsorship debacle in 2019. It was then that he got back into the winning game with Niece Motorsports in the Truck Series. He scored three victories and advanced to the Championship 4.

“Al [Niece] is my people,” Chastain said. “We work like family and a big reason of why my career, when it went into his largest valley, came right back up the following season going and winning races and ultimately, was one of the fundamental dominoes that fell to get me back to the Cup Series.”

Are you ready to hit the stands and watch Ross Chastain swing back into action for the 2024 season? With his first race being a controversial affair, let’s see what the rest of the season has in store for him.
