Bayley Currey Kicks Off 2025 Truck Series Campaign
Initiating the 2025 NASCAR Truck Series season, Bayley Currey takes the wheel of the No. 41 Chevrolet Silverado, marking the beginning of an exciting campaign at Atlanta Motor Speedway on February 22.
Following a full-time stint in 2024, Currey shares the ride in 2025, embracing a part-time role with Niece Motorsports. His primary sponsor, Masked Owl Technologies, continues their support, highlighting their confidence in his abilities.
Currey’s gratitude is evident as he expresses appreciation to Al Niece and his team. He anticipates a rewarding season, focused on collaboration and improvement with fellow drivers.
“I’m grateful to Al Niece and everyone at Masked Owl Technologies for continuing to believe in me and what we have going on the No. 41 team.”
“This year will be fun to work with other drivers as we share the same goal of improving every week. Since we aren’t driving the whole year and points aren’t the main focus, I think that allows us the opportunity to try some different things to contend for wins. We are going to give it our best shot in every race.” – Bayley Currey
Ross Chastain’s Limited NASCAR Truck Series Schedule
While Bayley Currey gears up for a promising season with Niece Motorsports, attention also turns to Ross Chastain, who brings his expertise to the team with a limited schedule in the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
As a full-time NASCAR Cup Series competitor, Chastain is limited to five Truck Series races, which he will fully utilize driving the No. 41 Chevrolet. His schedule includes races at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Michigan International Speedway, Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, and Watkins Glen International.
Chastain expressed enthusiasm for racing at these tracks, highlighting his longstanding relationship with Al Niece and the familial atmosphere within Niece Motorsports. He acknowledges the support of Justin Marks and Trackhouse for allowing his participation in the Truck Series to maintain competitive sharpness.
“I’m looking forward to racing at all these tracks on my schedule this year.”
“It’s hard to believe that this will be the eighth year that Al Niece has put me in one of his trucks. Everyone at Niece Motorsports treats me like family when I show up, and I think that’s a testament to what Al and Cody (Efaw) have built here in Salisbury. I’m also very thankful that Justin Marks and everyone at Trackhouse is on board with letting me compete in other series to stay sharp on Sundays. We had some good runs last year and know what to improve on to make this year even better, I feel like this team is as strong as ever now.” – Ross Chastain
Chastain is optimistic about improving upon last year’s performances, confident in the team’s continued strength and potential for success.

“I’m very excited to get another opportunity to race in the Truck Series with Niece Motorsports.”
“I feel like we were on track to have some good results last year in my first couple of starts before issues prohibited it. So this year, to have more opportunities ahead as I continue to learn will be great. I’ve known Ross for six years now; he’s done so much for me, and Bayley and I are like brothers. So, it’s going to be awesome to work with them.” – Matthew Gould
The 19-year-old, son of Niece’s illustrious crew chief Phil Gould, previously competed in two races for the team in 2024. For the upcoming season, he looks forward to more opportunities, aiming to build on his initial experiences at Milwaukee and Martinsville.
