Bayley Currey will get a full-time shot in the Truck Series with Niece Motorsports next year.
A part-time driver in the series since 2017, amassing 43 starts, Currey has proven himself as a potential playoff threat this season with three top-5s and four top-10s in his 10 starts with in the Niece No. 41 that he will drive next season.
He has also worked full-time in the Niece Motorsports shop.
“I’m excited for the opportunity to race for Niece Motorsports full-time next season,” said Currey in a press release. “Al [Niece] and everyone at Niece Motorsports have always been good to me, so it means a lot to get to race for them next year. I’ve been working in the shop for the majority of this season, so I’ve seen firsthand the preparation that goes into bringing quality Chevrolets to the track every week. I’m looking forward to running up front and contending for wins.”
Currey’s work ethic was especially profound to Niece general manager Cody Efaw.
“Bayley is incredibly talented and we are excited to have him on board fulltime next year,” Efaw said. “Bayley has been in the shop this season working alongside everyone here. He puts in the work on and off the track, and it continues to show in his performance. We have high expectations next season across the board at Niece Motorsports.”
Currey will pair with Matt Mills next season, replacing the Cup Series bound Carson Hocevar, in the Niece Motorsports No. 42. In addition to his Truck Series experience, Currey has 111 Xfinity Series starts and 12 in the Cup Series.
