Connor Hall’s 2026 Truck Series Return
Connor Hall, a former JR Motorsports late‑model standout and two‑time NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series champion, is set to make his second appearance in the Craftsman Truck Series in 2026, this time behind the wheel of the No. 4 truck for Niece Motorsports at Richmond Raceway.
The 2026 schedule marks Hall’s return to the series after a modest debut this season, where he finished 20th at Rockingham, and follows a 2024 debut in the NASCAR National Series with McAnally‑Hilgemann Racing that yielded a tenth‑place finish in the No. 91 truck.
A Diverse Calendar and Team Dynamics
Hall’s 2024 campaign also included competition in the ARCA Menards Series East with SPS Racing and a successful run in the CARS Late Model Stock Car Tour, highlighted by a victory at Langley Speedway in May.
Although he is not contesting a full‑time Truck Series slate, Hall will spread his efforts across multiple series, sharing the Niece Motorsports lineup with drivers such as Cleetus McFarland, Ben Maier, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Shane van Gisbergen, Stefan Parsons and Donovan Strauss.
The team sees Hall’s experience and proven late‑model pedigree as a valuable asset as it seeks to bolster its Truck Series program while maintaining flexibility across a varied calendar.
Hall’s participation underscores a broader trend of veteran drivers leveraging part‑time schedules to remain competitive, while teams like Niece Motorsports benefit from the depth of talent that can be deployed on short notice.
