- Currey's IRP Stats: Bayley Currey will make his first-career start at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park on Friday night.
- Niece Motorsports IRP Stats: Niece drivers have combined to make eight starts since IRP was added back to the series calendar in 2022. The team has one top-five finish on the short track, which was secured by Carson Hocevar, who finished fourth in last year's race.
- On the Truck: Currey’s No. 41 Chevrolet Silverado RST will race with support from Niece Equipment. Located in Buda, Texas, Niece Equipment specializes in building water and fuel/lube trucks for commercial use on construction projects.
- Recapping Pocono: As rain washed away the Pocono qualifying session, Bayley Currey would start mid-pack in 20th position. On the first lap of the race, contact with the left rear tire forced the No. 41 Chevy to pit, resulting in a 32nd-place run in stage one. Currey rose to 22nd in stage two, and made up a handful of positions to finish in 17th, salvaging a top-20 finish despite early setbacks.
- Points Rundown: Currey's top-20 result in Pocono bumped him up a spot in the driver points standings. Entering the 15th race of the season, he sits 18th overall and is 21 points behind rookie, Layne Riggs, in 17th.
- Quoting Currey: You've said that IRP is one of your most-anticipated tracks this year. Why is that?
“I think it’s one of the best racetracks in the world. I’d put it up there with Iowa and Homestead. I got to test a little bit in the simulator last year before SVG hopped in the truck for the race, and I loved it. I’m really excited to race here; some of the best racing is at IRP. I think Cup should go there, Xfinity, IndyCar, everything should be racing here with the trucks. It’s going to be so much fun.”
- Quoting Efaw: With four trucks entered for the team this week, what are you mainly looking for from all the guys?
“I think the biggest thing that will be a benefit to the team as a whole will be the different perspectives we’ll get this week. Our guys are a tight-knit group, so the teamwork is great with everyone working together. We try to keep an open mind and share as many ideas as we can to find that shared speed among all four teams. That’s what is going to help us the most”
