Reif, 18, will pilot the No. 41 Chevrolet Silverado RST for Niece Motorsports in the event with primary sponsorship from Detroit-based McLaren Transport. Niece Motorsports announced the addition of Reif to its driver lineup in a Wednesday press release.

Niece Motorsports feels Reif has shown the winning pedigree in every step of his racing career to this point and that he is truly ready to contest a race in the NASCAR National Series ranks.

“I think Tyler Reif has shown that he is ready to move up and compete in the Truck Series,” said Cody Efaw, Niece Motorsports CEO. “He’s been fast this year and has won in nearly everything he’s ever driven. Our team prides itself on finding young talent looking for their first big break, and we feel that Tyler will do a great job for us when he climbs in for the first time in Phoenix.”

The young racer, who is a native of Henderson, NV, is pumped to get behind the wheel of a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series entry at the 1-mile oval in Avondale, AZ, where he won in the ARCA Menards Series/West Series combination event in spring 2023.

“I’m really excited to race a truck for the first time, especially with it being at Phoenix with the success we’ve had there,” said Reif. “It’s probably been my favorite track to race at. I’ve been waiting my whole life to get in a truck, so I’m really excited to finally get my opportunity with this Niece Motorsports group.”

In nine ARCA Menards Series starts this season, Reif has recorded three top-five and five top-10 finishes, and he sports an average finish of 9.1. Reif finished runner-up in the ARCA Menards Series East championship standings this year.

The driver collected two runner-up finishes and a third-place result during the eight-race East schedule.

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season finale at Phoenix Raceway, which will serve as Reif’s first career start, is set for Friday, October 31. The series championship event will be televised by FS1 with coverage set to kick off at 7:30 PM ET. The NASCAR Radio Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio will provide the radio broadcast of the race.
