MOORESVILLE, N.C. (Feb. 16, 2021) – Jett Noland will make his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut with Niece Motorsports in the second race of the 2021 season at the Daytona International Speedway Road Course.

Noland was slated to race six events with Niece Motorsports in 2020 but opted to wait until 2021, after scheduling changes due to COVID-19.

“I’m very excited to finally get behind the wheel of one of these Niece Motorsports Chevrolets,” said Noland. “I feel like I’ve been training my whole life for this moment and to make my debut at the World Center of Racing is unreal. I’m both honored and humbled by the chance to go out there and compete against some of the best-up-and-coming racers in the world.”

The Florida-native’s schedule will also include races at Richmond Raceway, Circuit of the Americas, Bristol Motor Speedway, Martinsville Speedway, and the season finale at Phoenix Raceway.

“We are looking forward to having Jett join us this season,” said Niece Motorsports General Manager Cody Efaw. “Jett has a lot of road course experience and really cut his teeth short track racing, so the races he’s running will really suit his experience. He will be a great addition to the team.”

Last season, Noland participated in the Trans-Am Series, capturing TA-2 Rookie of the Year honors. In addition, Noland participated in Southern Super Series and Super Late Model events.

Noland, who ran full-time in Super Late Models in 2019, won rookie of the year honors at his home track of New Smyrna Speedway, while finishing in the top-10 in the Southern Super Series season points.

Noland joins a driver lineup including Carson Hocevar, Ryan Truex and Truck Series Champion Brett Moffitt.

The Truck Series will take the green flag at the Daytona International Speedway Road Course on Friday, February 19 at 7:30 p.m. ET, airing live on FS1, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

Ford Performance Notes and Quotes
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series
Media Availability | Tuesday, February 16, 2021

Hailie Deegan, driver of the No. 1 Monster Ford F-150 in the Camping World Truck Series, made her full-season series debut last Friday at Daytona. The 19-year-old Ford Developmental Driver, is back in action this Friday night, again at Daytona, but this time on the road course. Deegan participated in a NASCAR Media Zoom call Tuesday afternoon.

HAILIE DEEGAN, No. 1 Monster Ford F-150: IS THERE SOMEONE THAT HAS REALLY HELPED YOU OUT AS YOU TRANSITION INTO THE TRUCK SERIES?

“One person that I am super thankful for that has been helping me a lot with going over footage with me, coming to every sim session, is David Ragan. He has been crucial for my development. Just the level of experience he has and all the knowledge he has that he has been able to feed to me has been so great.”

HOW WOULD YOU EVALUATE YOUR OPENER ON SUNDAY?

“I think that going out there I kind of had a lot of goals as in just being smooth, not being the driver that is a little out of control and bouncing on and off the line. I think with my spotter, TJ, in my ear the whole time and coaching me through it. I feel like we ran a pretty good race until our little incident.”

WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH TO SOCIAL MEDIA GOING FORWARD?

“I love social media and I love showing people the behind the scenes of my life. Everything that goes into my career — I just started a YouTube channel and am doing a lot of videos on there both racing and personal life — I enjoy it so much and I think that is something a lot of drivers lack, showing everything that goes into it. I am trying to be that driver that shows everything that it takes to be a race car driver.”

IS THE PLAN FOR TJ TO BE YOUR SPOTTER ALL YEAR?

“Yes, all year.”

DO YOU HAVE ANY CONCRETE THINGS YOU ARE TRYING TO LEARN FOR THIS YEAR? GOALS OVERALL?

“That is something that I had a long conversation with my crew chief, Mike, about. Making our goals for the whole year and making them not goals like going out there and getting a top-five, not goals like that. Actual, real goals like learning stuff about the trucks. Learning how the mechanics work. Building a relationship with my crew guys, earning the respect of the other drivers, things like that.”

WHO MANAGES THE BUSINESS SIDE OF YOUR RACING?

“When it comes to the business side, I am heavily involved in it and also my manager Bob (Walker). We have grown up together ever since I was little. He is friends with my dad from Nebraska and he managed my dad his whole career. Ever since I was little he managed my small deals and as they got bigger and bigger I noticed that he was really the person that I trusted with my career in his hands. Me and Bob have worked together a long time.”

DO YOU SEE YOURSELF LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE BUSINESS SIDE? HOW TOUGH IS THAT?

“I think you always have challenges there. That is the thing about NASCAR racing, it is a very expensive sport to be involved in. Getting sponsors right now is a little tough with COVID and everything and the limited people at the track makes it a little more difficult. I think that is why social media is so crucial. You have to sell the sponsor that they are going to get something out of it when they sponsor you. Having that social media power makes it a little easier on my side.”

HOW DID YOUR INVOLVEMENT WITH DAVID RAGAN COME ABOUT?

“He is actually at the Ford Performance Technical Center a lot down in Concord (NC) and we aligned paths through Ford. Ford saw how much he was helping me and the information he was giving me. I think going into the Truck Series this year, Ford stuck him with me with the mindset of working together and doing the best we can together.”

WHAT SPECIFICALLY CAN HE HELP YOU WITH?

“His experience and knowledge. Everything he knows about every single track. I think going to all these tracks, I am very new to them. A lot of them I haven’t raced at before. Him having experience there and a lot of notes that he can give me is crucial.”

YOU MADE A COMMENT ON YOUR IN-CAR RADIO ABOUT HOW SMART YOU HAVE TO BE IN THESE RACES. HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO HAVE SUCH AN EXPERIENCED GROUP OF PEOPLE AROUND YOU GUIDING YOU?

“It is tough, it is really tough. I think every race I go to I try to be like a sponge and absorb all the information I can. Having someone like TJ (Majors) on my team is amazing. I like people on the radio that talk alot and he does exactly that. I told him at the beginning of the year when we first started going footage for Daytona, ‘Hey, I need you to practically drive this car for me because I have no clue how these trucks handle on superspeedways.’”

HOW MUCH DOES YOUR EXPERIENCE IN OTHER SERIES ON THE DAYTONA ROAD COURSE HELP YOU FOR THIS WEEKEND IN THE TRUCK?

“I think what ARCA has helped me with is learning the track at the Daytona Road Course. I think where I need to learn is how the truck actually handles. I think once you get out there, we have no practice and no qualifying and go straight into the race. The first couple laps will be about being smart, staying out of the chaos and not overdriving and just hitting our marks and learning how the truck feels and what I need out of it.”

HOW ARE YOU PREPARING FOR THIS WEEKEND WITH NO PRACTICE?

“Man, I have put so much time into the Daytona Road Course on the Fod simulator. I am so thankful that Ford has given me access to that. Without that, I would not be anywhere near as ready as I am now to go to new tracks without practice. Having access to the simulator and go there every week and having David Ragan there on top of it has helped me so much.”

YOU FINISHED 6TH ON THE ROAD COURSE IN THE ARCA RACE LAST SEASON, WHAT CAN YOU TAKE FROM THAT RACE THO THIS ONE?

“I think something that a lot of people are talking about, or even my teammates are talking about the Daytona Road Course is that it lacks grip. It lacked grip in the ARCA race because it rained before and the track was still wet and so I think that is what I am going into that race, expecting it to lack a lot of grip.”

LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT RACES ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MOST THIS SEASON?

“I think when it comes to racing I am looking forward to, you obviously look forward to the ones that you think you will do the best and be the most comfortable at and I think going to the dirt tracks will be really fun. Bristol, I am really excited for the Bristol dirt race.”

HAVE YOU BEEN TO KNOXVILLE BEFORE? WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT HAVING TWO DIRT RACES? DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE AN ADVANTAGE?

“I have never raced at Knoxville and have never raced at Bristol on the dirt, I don’t think anyone has. Going into these dirt races isn’t about having an advantage. I think I am very disadvantaged when it comes to all these race tracks because I haven’t been there before and I don’t have a lot of experience in these trucks. They handle a lot different than ARCA cars. That is something I am having to learn every single race. I think going there I will be a little more comfortable than a lot of the pavement tracks but I don’t think as comfortable as a lot of people will be.”

19-Year-Old Driver to Make Truck Series Debut at Daytona Road Course

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (Feb. 15, 2021) – Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM) announced today that Parker Chase will make two starts behind the wheel of the organization’s No. 51 Tundra in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in 2021. The 19-year-old driver will make his Camping World Trucks debut Feb. 19 at the Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway Road Course. The Texas native will also compete May 22 at Circuit of the Americas (COTA), in Austin, Texas, when the series visits the 3.41-mile, 20-turn course for the first time.

Primary sponsorship for the Daytona Road Course event will come from Vertical Bridge, the largest private owner and operator of communications infrastructure and locations in the United States, while Tige Boats, the world’s leading innovator, designer, and manufacturer of wakesurfing, wakeboarding, and waterskiing boats, will adorn the hood of Chase’s Tundra at COTA. The paint schemes for both races will be based off designs that are featured on current Tige Boats models.

Chase, an up-and-coming sports car driver who is competing full time in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge this season, was a teammate of KBM owner Kyle Busch on the AIM Vassar Sullivan No. 14 entry that finished ninth in the 18-car GTD class in the 2020 Rolex 24. He earned a top-10 finish in his ARCA Menards Series debut on the Daytona Road Course in 2020 and earned top-10 finishes in both of his Late Model Stock races at Hickory (N.C.) Motor Speedway last year. In 2018, Chase and co-driver Ryan Dalziel, captured the Pirelli World Challenge GT SprintX Pro/Am Championship.

“I’m really looking forward to making my NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Debut at the Daytona Road Course this week,” Chase said. “KBM is a race winning organization and I am hoping to put my experience at Daytona to good use in their equipment. I have been able to spend some time working with the guys in the shop in preparation for these events and we are ready to get started. Vertical Bridge and Tige Boats have come on board to support the effort and I am ready to represent them at Daytona and Circuit of the Americas.”

“Not being able to get any actual practice time prior to making his first Camping World Truck Series start isn’t an ideal situation for Parker, but he put the effort in to come to North Carolina a few weeks ago. We were able to get him some time on the Toyota Racing Simulator, and he was also able to do some live pit stop practice,” said Mardy Lindley, crew chief of the No. 51 Tundra team. “He’s got some experience on the Daytona Road Course the last few years, the ARCA Menards race last year where he ran inside the top five for a lot of the race before finishing 10th. We’re confident that he can have a solid run and be right in the mix for us on Friday, and then we will build on that at COTA when there will be practice and qualifying before that race.”

Live coverage of Friday night’s BrakeBest Brake Pads 159 at the Daytona Road Course will be on FS1, Motor Racing Network and SiriusXM at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Friday, February 12
Track: Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway, 2.5-mile oval
Race: 1 of 22
Event: NextEra Energy 250 (100 laps, 250 miles)

Hailie Deegan, No. 1 Monster Energy Ford F-150
Start: Ninth
Finish: 24th

• In Stage 1, Deegan hugged the yellow line for most of the stage and ended it in 13th. She pitted during the stage break for fuel-only and a track-bar adjustment after reporting her Monster Energy Ford F-150 was loose on entry and snug on exit.
• The 19-year-old started Stage 2 in sixth and closed it out in 26th after slipping back in the pack at the high-banked oval. Crew chief Mike Hillman Jr. told Deegan to stay out during the stage break.
• When the green flag dropped on the final stage, Deegan took off from the seventh position in her Ford F-150.
• Throughout several cautions in the final stage, the California native made a couple of pit stops for fuel and fresh tires, including on lap 74 after missing an accident in front of her. Deegan restarted 27th on lap 78.
• With 19 laps to go, the Monster Energy driver spun and made contact with the inside wall causing left-front damage to her No. 1 machine. Deegan brought her F-150 down pit road for repairs.
• The lengthy repairs put Deegan three laps down and she ultimately finished 24th.

Tanner Gray, No. 15 Ford Performance F-150
Start: 22nd
Finish: 35th

• A mechanical failure at the drop of the green flag forced Gray and the No. 15 team to the garage without completing a single lap. Repairs were unable to be made in order to rejoin the race.

David Gilliland, No. 17 Black’s Tire and Auto Service Ford F-150
Start: 13th
Finish: 14th

• With five laps to go in Stage 1, Gilliland was in the 15th position.
• The Blacks Tire and Auto Service driver ended Stage 1 in the eighth spot.
• Gilliland started Stage 2 from 15th and was in the 11th spot on lap 31, and ultimately ended the stage in 16th.
• The Ford driver didn’t pit during the Stage 2 break and began the final stage in fourth.
• Gilliland guided the No. 17 machine to lead on lap 48. A series of cautions beginning at 40 laps remaining allowed the team to come down pit road multiple times to top off with fuel.
• During the caution with 28 laps to go, the team opted to pit one final time for four tires and fuel.
• Gilliland restarted 25th and was up to as high as second over the course of the last 25 laps, but was shuffled out of line in the final laps and ended up finishing 14th in a multi-car crash across the finish line.

TOYOTA QUOTES

BEN RHODES, No. 99 Bombardier LearJet 75 Toyota Tundra, ThorSport Racing
Finishing Position: 1st

How did you end up here with the checkered flag?

“I don’t even know. I’ve got to give such a big thank you to my team. This is so special. Biggest win of my career. I can’t even believe this. As a driver, you are always asked about what your biggest accomplishment is. This is it. This is hands down it. This is the place to be. I can’t even believe it. We’ve got Bombardier on the truck. We came back to Toyota and we won in our first race with them back with ThorSport. I can’t thank Duke and Rhonda Thorson (team owners) enough for this opportunity. This is special.”

You won at Daytona. How does that feel?

“I’m going to soak it up for as long as I can. That Darlington win went by too fast. You just don’t know when you’re going to get it again, but I’m going to enjoy this night. The best night of my life right here.”

Can you talk me through your last lap?

“That actually started out at the end of the second stage. I got setup with the same move, and I logged it in my memory bank. I came up short at that checkered flag, but I was going to make sure I didn’t come up short on this one. We just tried to time it right. Thank goodness I had my Menards teammate Matt Crafton behind me, because he’s a stud. He’s been around for a long time. He knows what he’s doing and you’ve seen the help he gives me there. This wouldn’t have been possible without Matt Crafton. I owe him a huge thank you.”

Can you talk us through the last lap of the race?

“I love this, oh my gosh, I love this. This has been such a long time coming for this race. It’s been three years in a row that we got wrecked out leading with like three laps to go. This is years of frustration coming off right now. I can’t even believe it. Thank goodness I had my teammate of Matt Crafton behind me. What a hero? He saved this race for us and got us the win. I can’t even thank him enough. This is because of him. I owe him a huge thank you. He’s a stud and he’s been in this series a long time. He knew what he was doing and he made that block for me. Without him doing it, I don’t think we’d be here right now so thank you so much.”

What all did you all do to the race truck to improve the handling during the race?

“I don’t know if it was the combination of left-side skirt or maybe we were down on the splitter too, but I just had a big balance problem. I was pushing really bad, couldn’t get on people’s bumpers. At the same time, the rearend was out of the track. I don’t know what Rich (Lushes, crew chief) did. I just tried to stay focused on the race. He’s a great crew chief. First race together and he’s got a ton of experience. I just trusted in him. We can talk about the changes in the post-race debrief, he and I. I just trusted in what he was doing and whatever he was doing, he made it right.”

Is being a winner at Daytona better than you ever thought?

“Oh yeah. You can dream about this. I’ve dreamed about this I can’t tell you how long. I’ve dreamed about this since I was seven years old. Nothing describes the feeling. I’ve had very few days like this in my life to have this much elation. My marriage day, a couple other wins, the K&N championship, but this is right up there with all of them. This is Daytona. You don’t even need to explain that. This is Daytona. I’m going to enjoy every second of it.”

JOHN HUNTER NEMECHEK, No. 4 Fire Alarm Services Toyota Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports
Finishing Position: 7th

Solid start to your season, John Hunter. How was your race as a whole?

“I felt like our race was okay – or decent at least. I feel like we had a really fast Fire Alarm Services Toyota Tundra. We made gains through the weekend. I felt like we were pretty good right off of the truck. Eric (Phillips, crew chief) and all of the guys at KBM (Kyle Busch Motorsports) gave us a really good truck that we could contend with. I felt good about our chances overall tonight. We stayed up there in stage one, and ended up winning stage two. In stage three, we did a strategy call. We took tires and it put us behind a little bit and never could get back to the front. I felt like we got trapped back there. We were making our way back up there towards the end and then we ended up getting caught up in the second-to-last wreck. It kind of sandwiched the truck, and I got tagged in the left rear and spun out. We had tires go down and damage. We started in the back on the final restart on the green-white-checkered. I was able to somehow get a pretty good suck going down the back and made it to the bottom lane in (turns) three and four. I got down and they all started wrecking almost to the tri-oval. They wrecked a bunch of them, somehow we managed to make it through that without getting in the grass and wrecking and came home seventh. Overall, really solid points day. I’m looking forward to the rest of the year, and this is just a start of what we can do.”

CHANDLER SMITH, No. 18 Safelite Auto Glass Toyota Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports
Finishing Position: 9th

How would you rate your debut at Daytona? Is this a successful start to your first full-time season?

“Yes and no. We came down here with a championship-caliber team, a championship-caliber truck worth winning and we didn’t win the race and we were in position to. It was a rookie mistake by me. I should have known better with him sitting on my door like that, even on a speedway like this with how flat it gets off (turn) four, sooner or later that was what was going to happen and it was going to lead to even worse disaster. We paid the price for it, but my Safelite Toyota guys got me back out there and we got rolling and we still salvaged a decent points day.”

DREW DOLLAR, No. 51 JBL Toyota Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports
Finishing Position: 10th

Top-10 in your debut. How was your race tonight?

“I think the number one thing is we got another Toyota to Victory Lane, and I feel like I played a little bit of a role in that, so I’m proud of that. We had a really fast Tundra. We were just smart all night. My JBL Tundra was really fast. It drove really well. We had a few times where we got out of shape a little bit but overall I think we called a good race and was in the perfect position and things just didn’t work out, but I’m looking forward to the rest of the season with Toyota.”

STEWART FRIESEN, No. 52 Halmar Toyota Tundra, Halmar-Friesen Racing
Finishing Position: 32nd

You talked about having to keep your nose clean in order to finish this race. How difficult was that?

“It was extremely difficult. It was extremely frustrating. It seemed like the tires were wearing out, and we were losing grip – at least our truck wasn’t really into the track. We just didn’t execute a smart strategy to try to survive the race. We got ourselves in a bad spot and I just got stuck and ran into the back of a couple of guys and ultimately got taken out, while we were in the bee’s nest there. It’s unfortunate for Halmar, all of our partners. We just have to do a better job next time.”

All their products are tested and trialed before hitting the market to ensure the best of quality is maintained in the INOX name.

“Excited to have a long-time friendship turn into more for Daytona with INOX Supreme Lubricants,” said Davis. “It feels great going into 2021 with a new scheme and an awesome sponsor, can’t thank Angel and James at INOX enough for this opportunity and partnership with our small team.

“Looking forward to having them more on this year hopefully, thrilled to be a brand ambassador and represent them to the best of our ability. We use their products day to day on our race team and in our machines at our business. A quality product and amazing people helped to bring this all together.”

Davis, a native of Dawsonville, Ga. is poised to make his second NCWTS start at Daytona. He made his track debut at the “World Center of Racing” in 2018 finishing seventh in a truck fielded by Kyle Busch Motorsports.

The two-time ARCA Menards Series East winner ran a majority of the Truck Series schedule last season for his family-owned team and produced respectable results, including a season-high 12th at Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway last February.

“Daytona is the glory of Motorsports and it is a very stacked field for this weekend, but I feel confident in our abilities to get the job done for INOX and all of our partners at Spencer Davis Motorsports,” added Davis.

“In 2018 it was about being smart and listening to your spotter and doing the best not to put yourself in a bad situation. I feel like we should have a lot of speed with our No. 11 INOX Supreme Lubricants Toyota Tundra and hope to showcase that on Friday night.”

Entering Daytona, Davis, 22, has 23 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series starts to his credit with a career-best finish of seventh at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway in Feb. 2018, with additional top-10s at Texas Motor Speedway (June 2018) and Kentucky Speedway (July 2019).
