Kris Wright, driver of the No. 44 F.N.B. Corporation Chevrolet Silverado for Niece Motorsports
On the Atlanta Motor Speedway:
“I am really looking forward to racing at the Atlanta Motor Speedway on the new repaved surface. The limited information I have received about the new track and how it drives is basically that there are so many unknowns. As a team, we have so many questions: How many lanes can you use? What is the drafting going to be like on a 1.5-mile track? What is the preferred groove? The track is going to be very fast and interesting for sure. “I cannot wait to get there after the great speed our Niece Motorsports Chevrolet Silverado showed at Vegas (Las Vegas Motor Speedway).”

MOORESVILLE, N.C.: fgrACCEL and Chris Hacker jointly announced today the signing of Dal Dirt as the primary marketing for Hacker’s first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race of the season in next Saturday’s FR8 Auctions 208 at Atlanta (Ga.) Motor Speedway for Reaume Brothers Racing.

Dal Dirt was founded in 2018 with the principal to make the earthmoving industry better.

Dal Dirt noticed the industry was broken and knew that through a people-first focus, they could accomplish much more than those contractors not making their people the priority.

Through the company’s short life, it has grown to be one of the best excavation companies in Texas through its realistic expectations and drive to make each project a success, faster without compromising quality.

Dal Dirt specializes in residential, multifamily, commercial, industrial, mass excavation and transportation jobs.

At Dal Dirt, they believe “Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team of people.”

“I’m stoked about Atlanta and the opportunity to welcome Dal Dirt to NASCAR,” said Hacker. “I don’t get the opportunity to race every week so making the most of every opportunity is my focus. Because of Dal Dirt’s support, I have the chance to make my fifth Truck Series start and keep a solid start of the season for Reaume Brothers Racing.

In addition to Atlanta, Dal Dirt will also back Hacker’s efforts at Texas Motor Speedway in May.

“To have the support of Dal Dirt for two races is huge,” added Hacker. “They have really been able to help me progress as a driver by giving me as many opportunities as they can to get me in the seat. Being a rookie, seat time is everything.

“2022 will be all about learning, but still with the focus of building myself a name in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. I’m ready to show everyone how good of a driver I am behind the wheel, along with how great of a partner Dal Dirt is.”

The Frisco, Texas-based company is equally excited about its partnership with Hacker.

“Dal Dirt is extremely excited to enter the arena of NASCAR with Chris Hacker at Atlanta Motor Speedway,” offered Scott Madill, vice president of Dal Dirt. “We realize Chris’s passion and courage to compete in one of NASCAR’s top three national series fits well with the model mentality that we have built at Dal Dirt.

“We look forward to being a part of this next chapter with Chris and cannot wait to see our Dal Dirt truck on the track soon.”

Hacker is the first NASCAR driver known to have a brachial plexus injury (BPI), also known as brachial plexus lesion. BPI is an injury to the brachial plexus, the network of nerves that conducts signals from the spinal cord to the shoulder, arm and hand.

Only able to have movement in his fingers at first, after three major surgeries, including nerve grafting and tendon transfers, Hacker has established mobility in his arm that is comfortable enough to drive.

Race Rundown – No. 45 AUTOParkit Chevrolet Silverado

Alan suffered nose damage on his No. 45 AUTOParkit Chevrolet as a result of the race’s first caution on lap 22 – an issue that the No. 45 team worked to remedy throughout the duration of the Victoria’s Voice Foundation 200. Despite falling a lap down due to a number of trips down to pit road to make repairs, Alan was the recipient of the free pass at the end of stage two to rejoin the field on the lead lap and rebounded to post a top-20 finish in his first-career start at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Alan on his 19th-place effort at Las Vegas Motor Speedway: “It was a tough race here in Las Vegas for our No. 45 AUTOParkit Chevrolet team. We got caught up in some trouble early and had some nose damage as a result, but we fought back all night and continued to work on the truck when we could. All things considered, finishing with a top-20 is not a bad day at all and we’ll shift our focus to Atlanta.”

Race Rundown – No. 44 iHeartRadio/Shocker Hitch Chevrolet Silverado

Wright and the No. 44 iHeartRadio/Shocker Hitch team battled a loose handling condition from the onset of the Victoria’s Voice Foundation 200 which mired him back in the mid-20s in the early stages of the race. As the team continued to adjust the handling of the truck, Wright rebounded to finish 14th in stage two. Wright went around on the backstretch lap 119 to bring out late-race caution and sat 24th coming to the final restart with three to go, but rebounded to make his way through the pack in the closing laps to come away with a 17th-place finish.

Wright on his night at Las Vegas Motor Speedway: “It was a crazy night for our No. 44 team here in Las Vegas. We had a huge change in the balance of the truck from qualifying to the race and made some big swings with changes over the course of the night that went a long way. It was a great learning experience for us and I can’t wait to get back here. This team has the speed, it just comes down to execution in the end.”

Owner Point Standings: 9th

Race Rundown – No. 42 Premier Security Solutions Chevrolet Silverado

Hocevar made his way into the top-five just seven laps into Friday night’s Victoria’s Voice Foundation 200 and opted to pit under the first caution on lap 21 to make one final push to the front before the end of stage one. He went on to earn five stage points with a fifth-place finish in the opening stage and started on the inside line of the front row for stage two, setting himself up to take the lead on the backstretch – the first of nine laps led on the night for the 19 year-old.

Hocevar battled Kyle Busch for the top spot in the ensuing laps before giving way to the NASCAR Cup Series Champion and ultimately finishing the second stage 11th. On lap 98, Hocevar got loose off of turn four and spun, sliding through the infield grass to bring out the caution. Hocevar rebounded to pick his way through the field in the closing laps before settling for a 13th-place finish.

Hocevar on his run at Las Vegas Motor Speedway: “We led laps and took the lead on raw pace and not on strategy. I put myself in a bad spot on a restart and kind of got loose and did the same thing on the next restart. When I spun – I don’t know if I got hit or packed air – but it didn’t help. We put old tires on and drove back to 14th. It’s not every day you take the lead in these races and we didn’t capitalize on it.”

Event: Victoria’s Voice Foundation 200 (134 laps, 201 miles)

Hailie Deegan, No. 1 Monster Energy Ford F-150

Start: 20th
Finish: 34th

• Hailie Deegan qualified 20th for the Victoria’s Voice Foundation 200 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The No.1 Monster Energy Ford F-150 began to climb early, jumping to 17th after the race’s initial start.
• A caution on Lap 22 brought the field in to pit, with Deegan reporting that the car could benefit from a looser condition as she came down pit road for four tires and fuel.
• As the field took the green on Lap 28, a mid-pack wreck collected the Temecula, CA native, leaving her Ford F-150 with heavy right-side damage. After extensive repair on pit road, Deegan was able to rejoin the field and met minimum speed following the Lap 38 restart. However, the damage to the truck was too much to overcome, and the 20-year-old driver pulled off for a 34th-place finish, ending her night early.

Tanner Gray, No. 15 Ford Performance F-150

Start: 8th
Finish: 6th

• Tanner Gray qualified eighth for the Victoria’s Voice Foundation 200 and after 19 laps found himself inside the top-five.
• The first caution of the night came out on lap 22 and crew chief Jerry Baxter called the No. 15 down pit road for tires and fuel with no adjustments.
• A wreck on the ensuring restart saw Gray skirt to the inside of turn one and escape in third. He would finish Stage 1 there for eight stage points.
• The Ford Performance driver restarted Stage 2 from the lead and settled into fourth in the opening laps. On lap 52, he cracked the top-three once again. The yellow was displayed again with five laps to go in the stage and the team decided to stay out and collect a fifth-place finish for six additional stage points.
• Gray restarted the final stage in 20th and was up to 14th by the end of the first lap. After a series of yellows, he was up to 11th and would pit from there on lap 90 for tires and fuel.
• The No. 15 cracked the top-10 once again with 38 laps remaining and slowly worked his way forward on multiple restarts. When the caution flag waved with three laps to go, Gray was sitting in seventh for the shootout. He restarted on the outside lane and carried momentum to a sixth-place finish at the checkered flag. A disqualification to the second-place finisher moved Gray up to fifth in the final rundown.
• The fifth-place run marked Gray’s second consecutive top-five finish to start the 2022 season.

Ryan Preece, No. 17 United Rentals Ford F-150

Start: 5th
Finish: 4th

• Ryan Preece started eighth for his first race of the season with DGR. After getting pinched on the opening start, he fell back to 10th and was running there when caution waved on lap 22.
• The driver reported that the truck was a little loose for his liking and the team decided to pit and restart 13th for the final laps of Stage 1. He ultimately finished the stage in 12th under yellow.
• The Connecticut native restarted sixth for Stage 2 and sustained minor damage to the right front fender on the restart. The damage made the United Rentals F-150 tight and Preece fell to 11th where he held steady until a caution flag with five laps to go in the stage allowed him to pit again. He finished Stage 2 in 13th.
• After staying out at the stage break, Preece restarted the final stage in eighth. At the lap 73 caution he was in 6th and the next caution at lap 90, he was in 7th. Crew chief Chad Johnston had him pit again for tires and adjustments. He restarted 13th.
• The United Rentals F-150 broke into the top-five with 18 laps remaining and a lap 119 caution gave the driver a chance to make a charge for the lead. On the restart, he held second briefly before settling into third and then the caution flag waved yet again.
• Preece restarted inside row 2 for the final three-lap shootout of the race. After getting loose on the inside entering turn three with two laps to go, he rallied from seventh back to fifth to earn his first top-five of the year. A disqualification to the second-place finisher moved Preece up to fourth in the final results.

TOYOTA QUOTES

CHANDLER SMITH, No. 18 Safelite Auto Glass Toyota Tundra TRD Pro, Kyle Busch Motorsports

Finishing Position: 1st

How were you able to win this race tonight?

“All up there. When you guys tuned into me halfway through the race and asked how you got up there, the Good Lord. He performs miracles all day and he’s given me this talent and this opportunity to drive this truck for Kyle Busch Motorsports and for Safelite. I’m just beyond thankful for everything and all the glory goes to him. Thanks to my guys and my wife, everybody that’s a part of this deal and deals with me everyday.”

Do you feel you’re starting to make your mark on the series?

“I’m just another guy that’s trying to race cars for a living. I’ll do whateve the Good Lord lets me do.”

Why did you split your team owner on the final restart?

“Boss man did to me the restart before so I was like, ‘Alright Kyle, I see how it’s going to be, we’re not going to help each other.’ So I kept that in the back of my head. We were in contention there at the very end and I stuck it three-wide and was able to clear Kyle (Busch) and get around Zane (Smith). It was all being in the right places at the right times.”

How strong was your Toyota Tundra TRD PRO?

“I told Danny Stockman, my crew chief that if I ever got clean air, we were going to check out. We got clean air and started inching away more and more, but then the cautions kept coming and we were also kind of plate racing. There are so many aero games you can play and things you can do to suck up here. You can’t really drive away from people unless they’re really racing hard behind you and there wasn’t too much of that. I’m just happy to be here with Safelite in my Tundra TRD PRO.”

KYLE BUSCH, No. 51 JBL Toyota Tundra TRD Pro, Kyle Busch Motorsports

Finishing Position: 3rd

Was it a good night overall for Kyle Busch Motorsports?
“It was. The 18 (Chandler Smith) was definitely the best truck tonight. They did a great job being able to execute there. We split them on that second-to-last restart and then on that last restart, he split us. Kind of a little payback I guess. Then I was worried that the 38 (Zane Smith) was going to win. Overall, he (Chandler Smith) was able to get clear and get a good run down the backstretch here. Really proud of those guys – Danny (Stockman, crew chief) and Chandler both executed very well tonight. Cool to see Safelite in victory lane, it’s great for them. Our JBL Tundra just wasn’t quite as good as theirs. They could change lanes in the turns and do a lot of cool stuff, I couldn’t do that. Overall, a really good night with first and third. It sucks that John Hunter (Nemechek) got wrecked, but we’ll fire back at them next time.”

BEN RHODES, No. 99 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro, ThorSport Racing

Finishing Position: 32nd

What was the sensation you felt in the truck before the wreck that ended your night?

“Pretty stable and no less unstable than everybody’s been all night long, right? A lot of really tight, close racing and you know I can’t speak to what happened with my teammate there. I’m just going to try to stay positive and you know, think that obviously it must have been an accident. I can’t imagine a teammate wrecking another teammate on purpose. It’s a big bummer, everybody back the shop works extremely hard to build these Tundras and this is one of the best Tundras I’ve had in a long time. Two stage wins was phenomenal. I think that’s the first of my career back-to-back. And really, we did everything we needed for points to get the lead for the season. Just a bummer because we were going to have it if we finished top-10 and keep up with all our goals for the season.”
