Niece Motorsports racing news spotlights a new addition as short-track standout Connor Hall prepares to compete in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series (NCTS) for the team at Rockingham Speedway on April 3. Hall, 29, from Hampton, Virginia, will take the wheel of the No. 4 Chevrolet Silverado RST, kicking off a select slate of races for the organization this season.
Background: Hall’s Path to Niece Motorsports
After joining Niece Motorsports during the offseason, Hall embraced a dual role, charged with overseeing the Late Model Stock Car (LMSC) program and guiding the effort as a crew chief for several events. The LMSC initiative aims to nurture rising talent, allowing Hall’s experience and leadership to set the foundation for future success at the Salisbury-based team. This step marks a new chapter for Hall, who previously competed with JR Motorsports, a reputable Chevrolet partner, and finished second in last year’s CARS Tour points, only behind his future teammate Landen Lewis.
Racing Credentials and Notable Achievements
Known for his relentless competitive drive, Hall has made his mark in the zMAX CARS Tour Late Model Stock Series with multiple victories, earning acclaim from car owners and fans alike. His breakthrough NASCAR Truck Series debut came at Richmond Raceway, where he finished a strong 10th, showing his potential among seasoned participants.
Hall’s championship pedigree is further bolstered by triumphs such as securing the Virginia Triple Crown in 2025, an esteemed LMSC tour that features three iconic races boasting significant car entries. Of these, Hall claimed wins at the Hampton Heat 200 at Larry King Law’s Langley Speedway and the Thunder Road 200 at South Boston Speedway, highlighting his consistent performance on major race days. Prior to these accolades, Hall achieved back-to-back national championships in the NASCAR Local Racing Series Powered by O’Reilly Auto Parts across 2023 and 2024, tallying 39 weekly wins in the southeast, the most by any driver nationwide.

Reflecting on his new opportunity and the challenges ahead, Hall expressed his anticipation and gratitude, stating,
“I’m super thankful to be a part of Niece Motorsports and can’t wait to get on track with them in the Truck Series race at Rockingham,”
Hall said.
He continued,
“It’s been a fun challenge getting their Late Model Stock program up and running, and I am looking forward to working with the team in a different capacity than what I’m used to. We had a fast truck at the test back in January, and I’m looking forward to running it in the race. Huge thanks to Comprehensive Logistics, J.F. Electric, DQS Solutions & Staffing, Precision Vehicle Logistics, Cody Efaw, and everyone at Niece Motorsports for this opportunity.”
Cody Efaw, CEO of Niece Motorsports, shared his enthusiasm for Hall’s abilities and role within the organization, stating,
“Connor Hall is one of those drivers who can really shine for our program,”
Efaw remarked.
“He has a ton of talent on the short tracks, and I think that will translate well into the Truck Series. We knew he would be a good fit for our organization and I’m confident that he is the perfect leader for our Late Model team. Rockingham is a great track for Connor to run his first race with us. We took him to the test in January and he picked right up on it, so he should know what to expect on race day.”
