Niece Motorsports Not Among Teams Switching to Ram in 2026
Niece Motorsports, an institution in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series since 2016, will not be switching its operation to RAM for 2026, the organization confirmed to TobyChristie.com on Thursday.
“Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen a stir of rumors swirling around the garage area about the potential of our team switching manufacturers heading into next year. We wanted to help set the record straight of our position on the matter heading into 2026,” a team official said in a statement shared with TobyChristie.com.
The statement continued, “Since 2016, Niece Motorsports has proudly been associated with our partners at General Motors, representing the Chevrolet brand. We can confirm that any rumors of our team shifting its allegiance to a different manufacturer are baseless and untrue. We look forward to continuing our strength with GM and are proud to wear bowties for years to come.”
