Veteran NASCAR Driver Set for First Xfinity Series Race in Two Years

What’s Happening?

NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series veteran Matt Mills is set to make his first NASCAR Xfinity Series start since 2023 with DGM Racing next weekend at World Wide Technology Raceway.

• This race will be Mills’ first NASCAR Xfinity Series race since the 2023 fall race at Kansas Speedway, where he finished 19th with Joey Gase Motorsports. Since this start, Mills has turned his focus to the Craftsman Truck Series, where he races full-time in Niece Motorsports’ No. 42.
• In his two full-time seasons with Niece, the 27-year-old has one top five and two top ten finishes, though he has improved on his 2024 average finish in 2025, bumping it from 23.2 to 18.8. Millls currently sits 18th in Truck Series standings, and scored his best finish of the season, ninth, at Watkins Glen just a few weeks ago.
• Alongside his Truck Series efforts, Mills has 123 career starts in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and has a career best finish of tenth at Daytona in the summer of 2019. A majority of these starts came with B.J. McLeod Motorsports from 2018 to 2022, followed by a handful of starts with J.D. Motorsports and Joey Gase Motorsports.
• Though WWT Raceway, better known simply as Gateway, has a long history with the lower divisions of the NASCAR National Series, Mills has only two starts on the track in the Truck Series, in which he finished 19th at the track in 2023 and 23rd in 2024. He joins Josh Bilicki, Myatt Snider, C.J. McLaughlin, Jesse Iwuji, and Andres Perez de Lara as part-time drivers of DGM’s No. 91.
