- CARS Tour Winners: Early Sunday morning, Matt Gould earned Niece Motorsports its first ever zMAX CARS Tour Late Model Stock Series victory at Hickory Motor Speedway in the Spears Throwback Classic.

Gould, 20, was able to share the special moment with his father, Phil Gould, who called the race as his crew chief.

- Eatmon’s Richmond Stats:
Parker Eatmon will make his first-career start in any series at Richmond on Friday.
- Polinski's Richmond Stats:
NCTS Starts: 1; Best Finish: 17th (2025).
- On the Truck: Eatmon’s No. 42 Chevrolet Silverado RST will race with support from Vetted Ventures, a private sales and acquisitions management firm. This is Vetted Ventures’ second race as a primary sponsor, with Eatmon debuting a newly refreshed paint scheme on Friday night.
- Recapping Indianapolis: Parker Eatmon and the Operator Standard team ran well all night long at IRP. Eatmon started the 200-lap race in 14th and drove inside the top-10 at the end of the first stage. The No. 42 team held serve after stalling on pit road on the first stop of the night, but stayed in the hunt through stage two. Keeping his cool, Eatmon remained on the lead lap all race long. He earned his career-best finish of 12th-place in just his third NCTS start.
- Owner Points Outlook: Eatmon’s 12th-place result at IRP elevated the No. 42 team up one position to 24th in the owner point standings. Entering Richmond, the team is one point behind Kaulig Racing’s No. 10 team in 23rd, and 12 points ahead of Kaulig’s No. 25 team in 25th.
- Quoting Eatmon: You had a pretty solid race last time at IRP, so what did you learn in that race that you can carry over into Richmond?
“I really learned a lot about how these trucks operate on short tracks in my last race at IRP, and I also learned what it’s like to race against the competitors out there. So taking that into consideration, I think we will have a better run at Richmond. I know Landon [Polinski] and all the guys on our No. 42 team will build a fast truck, so I want to go out there and put together another solid run with our Vetted Ventures Silverado.”
