Bayley Currey finally gets his chance at a full-time ride in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in a very competitive ride. The 26-year-old journeyman was announced on Thursday as the full-time driver of Niece Motorsports’ No. 41 Chevrolet Silverado for the 2024 season.

“I’m excited for the opportunity to race for Niece Motorsports full-time next season,” said Currey in a team press release. “Al [Niece] and everyone at Niece Motorsports have always been good to me, so it means a lot to get to race for them next year. I’ve been working in the shop for the majority of this season, so I’ve seen firsthand the preparation that goes into bringing quality Chevrolets to the track every week. I’m looking forward to running up front and contending for wins.”

In 10 starts for the team this season, Currey has racked up three top-five finishes and four top-10s.

Derek Kraus to Pilot Second Spire Truck Series Entry at Phoenix

Derek Kraus, who has been super impressive in part-time roles in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series this season, will pilot a second Spire Motorsports Truck Series entry (No. 77) in the season-finale at Phoenix Raceway next weekend.

Kraus will carry primary sponsorship from Western States Flooring in the Lucas Oil 150.

The 22-year-old racer scored an eighth-place finish in the No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet Silverado at The Milwaukee Mile earlier this season, and he has three top-10 finishes in the NASCAR Xfinity Series through seven starts this year with Kaulig Racing.
