- Mosack's Back: 25-year-old Connor Mosack returns for his final Truck Series start of the year with Niece Motorsports. In both of his previous starts with the team, he drove the No. 45 entry, but shifts to the No. 41 truck in Thursday's race at Bristol Motor Speedway. The team's primary full-time driver, Bayley Currey, has moved over to the No. 44 entry for this week. Mosack has made five total NCTS starts this year, splitting his schedule with Spire Motorsports' No. 7 team. His season-best finish is an eighth-place run at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
- Niece Motorsports Bristol Stats: Niece drivers have accounted for a total of 23 NCTS starts on the traditional concrete layout at Bristol Motor Speedway. The team has captured two top-fives and four top-10 finishes, with a best result of third in 2019 by Ross Chastain.
- Mosack's Bristol Stats: Connor Mosack has competed in one prior NCTS start at Bristol in 2022, where he finished 31st in Bret Holmes Racing equipment. Last year, Mosack raced his way to a top-15 finish in the Xfinity Series event when he finished 14th for Sam Hunt Racing. In his lone ARCA Menards Series start at the 0.533-mile short track, Mosack picked up a top-10 finish (ninth) in 2022.
- On the Truck: Mosack's No. 41 Chevrolet Silverado RST will race with support from Crazy Al's Wine & Spirits, a family-owned liquor store located in Tonkawa, Oklahoma.
- Quoting Mosack: How do you sum up your experience in running with Niece Motorsports on a part-time basis this year?
“I feel like the two races haven’t gone as well as we’ve liked, but Las Vegas was my first truck race at a mile-and-a-half and it was also my first start at Gateway, so there’s been a lot of learning for me along the way. Both of those races were good opportunities for me to learn those places and mesh with the new team and crew chief. It’s been good; I’ve enjoyed it, and I feel like both races we improved all day. Going into Bristol, that’s a place I have been before, so I think we can start off a bit better and hopefully end on our best note.”
- Quoting Efaw: Without any track compound being used this week, how should that change the competitiveness of the race?
“I think that should give the drivers some more options to change their line throughout the race. In years past, when we’ve had the PJ1 applied to the track before our race, we’ve seen that it takes a while for us to break it in by the finish, so now it should open up the track a bit earlier. That gives us options to use the whole track from the drop of the green flag.”
