Conor Daly Joins Niece Motorsports at Las Vegas

Conor Daly will make his second career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series start in the No. 44 truck of Niece Motorsports at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the team announced Feb. 17.

Daly first drove for the team last September, taking the No. 42 truck to an 18th-place finish.

“Ever since the checkered flag fell in Las Vegas last year I was bothering Cody about another chance to get in a truck,” Daly said in a team release. “I learned so much during my first experience in the Truck Series, I had to try and come back to put it to good use! Working with everyone at Niece was an incredible experience and I want to go out and be able to deliver for them. It will be a shame not to have Travis Pastrana out there to chase around, but I hope to be able to make him proud. A big thank you to Fatheadz Eyewear and Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts for coming back to support this effort!”

The NTT IndyCar Series driver previously ran in one Xfinity Series event for Roush Fenway Racing.

Daly joins Niece full-timers Carson Hocevar, Brett Moffitt and Ryan Truex in the event.

The Silver State 200 airs on Friday, March 5 at 9 p.m. ET on Fox Sports 1.
