SALISBURY, N.C. — After earning a top-10 finish in his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut, Nevada’s Tyler Reif has been signed on for a larger schedule with Niece Motorsports beginning next year.
Reif, 18, is a multi-time winner across ARCA Menards Series, Pro Late Models, Jr. Late Models, and U.S. Legends Cars competition. His consistency produced an ARCA Menards Series West owner championship in 2024. This year, Reif primarily competed in ARCA East, finishing second in the standings.
Reif will step into the program serving as the anchor driver for the No. 42 team. His schedule will take up the bulk of the season, as he continues to learn the ins and outs of the series by sharing the ride with other drivers.
“I’m so thankful to everyone at Niece Motorsports for this opportunity to race more for them next year,” said Reif. “Making my debut in Phoenix was a dream come true, and I feel like all of the guys and I connected pretty quickly. Now that we have a larger schedule planned ahead of us, I look forward to racing on all types of tracks that I’ve never been to before. We all are already working to prepare for next year, and I can’t wait for our first race together.”
In his first NCTS pairing with Niece Motorsports during the series finale, the rookie impressed by earning a top-10 finish in ninth-place. This result directly led to conversations surrounding Reif’s future opportunities with the team.
“Tyler proved to us all that he was ready to run more races after his performance in Phoenix,” said Cody Efaw, President & CEO of the race team. “I was impressed by his ability to learn as the race weekend went on, and his feedback to the team steered them in the right direction. We think he will continue to improve as we take him to several different tracks on the schedule.”
