Team Stats & Notes
- Niece Motorsports New Hampshire Stats:
NCTS Starts: 5; Best Finish: 15th (Andrés Pérez de Lara, 2025).
- Chase Hopefuls: Niece Motorsports has two shots at competing in this year’s Chase for the championship. Currently positioned above the cutline in the owner standings, the No. 45 team looks to lock their bid with a strong result from Landen Lewis on Saturday. Below the cutline, but still mathematically eligible to advance, Andrés Pérez de Lara hopes to have a stellar day in New England to qualify for his first run at the postseason.
- Corn Hole Competitors: On Friday, Niece Motorsports drivers Parker Eatmon and Landen Lewis will team up for the fifth-annual Speedway Children’s Charities Corn Hole Tournament before they strap into their trucks for practice. Fans are welcome to register for the tournament here, and the winning team will receive two VIP suite tickets for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race. All proceeds will benefit the charity.

- On the Truck: Lewis’ No. 45 Chevrolet Silverado RST will race with support from J.F. Electric and Utilitra, who serve as his anchor partners for the season.
- Recapping Richmond: Landen Lewis and the J.F. Electric team earned a top-15 finish at Richmond Raceway. After slipping up on his qualifying lap and having to start 24th, Lewis gained track position in the first stage. Noting that his truck was tight, the No. 45 team made several changes to shift the balance more to Lewis’ liking. He made up ground in the final stage, charging to 14th-place in the final run to the checkered flag.
- Owner Points Outlook: Lewis’ 14th-place result at Richmond kept the No. 45 team eighth in the owner point standings. Since this weekend is the regular season finale, a solid run will be of the utmost importance to the No. 45 team as they vie for a spot in the Chase. Entering New Hampshire, the team has a 56-point cushion over the cutline, sitting 13 points behind TRICON Garage’s No. 17 team in seventh, and 15 points ahead of Spire Motorsports’ No. 77 Chevrolet in ninth.
- Quoting Lewis: You’ve never raced at New Hampshire before, so what do you expect going to a track like this for your first time?
“I think it’s going to be a lot different heading to New Hampshire. It’s one of the faster places that I haven’t been to yet, so I look forward to going there. I’ve talked to Kevin Harvick a lot about this track, and I’ve been trying to do as much homework as I possibly can to try and be prepared as much as possible. It will be different for me, but I’m sure our J.F. Electric Silverado will unload with speed and we should be able to figure it out pretty quickly.”
