Much like their Niece Motorsports teammate Ryan Truex, Brett Moffitt and NASCAR Cup Series star Kyle Larson will run trucks adorned with the logos of Circle B Diecast at this weekend’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Pinty’s Dirt Race at Bristol.
Moffitt’s No. 45 truck will sport a scheme that has primary sponsorship from Circle B Diecast and honors 29-time points champion in a total of eight different series of dirt racing ‘Barefoot’ Bob McCreadie.
“This is a really special opportunity to honor Barefoot Bob and his contributions to dirt racing,” said Moffitt. “Our CircleBDiecast.com Chevrolet looks great. I’m really excited about this weekend’s race. It’s going to be a challenge, but I also think it will be a lot of fun. Hopefully, we can make Bob proud.”
The special tribute scheme was design by Kyle Williams.
Williams explained to TobyChristie.com that, “This scheme was very special to me because I was given the freedom to pick a dirt driver to pay homage to, and I immediately thought of Bob McCreadie. Growing up in the Northeast and as a racer himself, my dad Steve was naturally a huge fan and that in turn made me want to root for him. As I got older I was able to appreciate the talent I saw behind the wheel as a little kid at the dirt races.”
It’s the latest huge partnership, in a long line of partnerships, between Circle B and Niece Motorsports over the years.
“Plan B Sales and Circle B have really stepped up to support our race team over the past few seasons, and I’m excited to see that commitment to our team continue to grow,” said Niece Motorsports General Manager Cody Efaw in a team release. “Our whole organization is excited to race on dirt this weekend in Bristol. We are looking forward to an exciting race and putting on a good show for the fans and our partners.”
In addition to Moffitt’s No. 45 McCreadie scheme, Larson will run a No. 44 Rich Mar Florist scheme with associate sponsorship from Circle B Diecast:
Ryan Truex will carry a colorful scheme on his No. 40 Niece Motorsports truck, which will also feature Circle B Diecast sponsorship:

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Bob on multiple occasions and knowing his son Tim through the northeast dirt scene over the years. Seeing them honor Bob in this way was a real shock when I turned on practice and saw it. Made me grin from ear to ear seeing that old Syracuse Frame paint scheme out there… Just needs a National Parts Peddler sticker on it somewhere lol.
