Faction46 Truck Series Debut: A fresh entrant is set to make waves in the NASCAR Truck Series scene, with Faction46 gearing up for its maiden appearance at Daytona International Speedway next year. The squad, running a solo truck under the #46 banner, plans to mark its territory in the 2024 season lineup with a Chevy Silverado.
While several NASCAR Truck Series teams underwent transitions or shuttered operations at the close of the 2023 season, a glimmer of anticipation arises with the inception of Faction46. Helmed by the father-son duo of Lane and Logan Moore, this new venture takes root in their native Oklahoma.
Expressing fervor for their inaugural campaign, Lane Moore, in an official statement, shared, “We’re exhilarated to introduce our NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team and anticipate hitting the track at full throttle. The unwavering dedication of our squad, coupled with the unwavering support from our fans and partners, sets the stage for a promising debut season on and off the racing circuit.”
Lane Moore’s recent investment in Veer Motorsports, managing the #66 entry in the ARCA Menards Series, underscores his unwavering passion for racing, propelling him into the realm of the NASCAR Truck Series.
A cameo appearance by Faction46’s owner Lane Moore on Eric Estepp’s Out of the Groove YouTube channel offered insight into the team’s aspirations. “Racing has been my lifelong passion,” he shared. “Whether behind the wheel or assisting others in reaching the track, it’s been a fervor of mine.”
When queried about the team name ‘Faction,’ Moore candidly confessed it’s merely a “cool word.” However, the choice of the number 46 holds significant references, one symbolizing Oklahoma’s inclusion as the 46th state in the Union.
Lane Moore hinted at an undisclosed significance behind the number, keeping it shrouded in mystery.
Faction46 has announced an intimate technical alliance with Niece Motorsports, the Truck Series stalwart managing full-time entries under #42 and #45. Notably, Niece Motorsports made significant strides in the competition, exemplified by Carson Hocevar’s journey into the championship four. Moore credited Niece’s pivotal role in facilitating Faction46’s inception.
As for the pilot steering the #46 Chevrolet Silverado RST, Lane Moore assured the press release hinted at a ‘potent and dynamic driver.’ Teasing the impending announcement, Moore hinted, There’ll be a surprise, but the reveal will come later this week.
