Short Track Champion Scores New NASCAR Ride

What’s Happening?

Connor Hall, a late model regular and former NASCAR Local Racing Series Champion, is set to make his NASCAR return next month in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Rockingham Speedway.

• Hall will drive the Niece Motorsports No. 4 in his first NASCAR start since 2024. He joins a rotation of drivers for that truck this season that has included Garrett Mitchell, better known as Cleetus McFarland, and, most recently, Ben Maier.
• The Virginia native most recently raced full-time with JR Motorsports in the CARS Late Model Stock Car Tour last season, scoring two wins and finishing second in points. Prior to this season, Hall won back-to-back National Championships in the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series.
• Late last season, team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr claimed Hall was leaving the team to pursue racing in the Truck Series. Since he departed from the team, Caden Kvapil, younger brother of Carson Kvapil, has taken over that No. 88.
• While Hall is an extremely experienced short track racer in Late Models, the 29-year-old has just one NASCAR National Series start under his belt. This outing came with McAnally-Hilgemann Racing at Richmond Raceway, Hall would score a top-ten finish for the team.
