Conor Daly will return to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driving the No. 41 Chevrolet Silverado of Niece Motorsports at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
Daly will be running his third truck race in the WWEX Racing Unishippers Chevrolet Silverado on July 8.
“I can’t wait to work with everyone at Niece Motorsports again,” said Daly. “Even though we’ve only done a few races together, it feels like I’m part of their family. I have a lot of respect for Al Niece and the supportive partners of the team like Unishippers and Worldwide Express. It means a lot to get to represent for them as well as Chevrolet. Mid-Ohio is one of my favorite tracks and with the experience I have there I think it will be really beneficial in getting me up to speed quickly.”
After parting ways with Ed Carpenter Racing, Daly has been announced as joining the Nitrocross Series.
Daly will look to use his experience from seven IndyCar starts at the road course. His best finish at the track came in 2016 when he finished sixth.
“We’ve enjoyed working with Conor in the past and are excited to have him join our team again this season,” said Niece Motorsports General Manager Cody Efaw. “Conor’s experience on road courses, especially at Mid-Ohio, should be a big benefit for him this weekend. We’re looking forward to getting on track with the Unishippers Chevrolet.”
ogether, the three brands are the Official Logistics Partner of Niece Motorsports, Trackhouse Racing and NASCAR, and provide sponsorships across the sport as WWEX Racing.
“We’re excited to have Conor take the helm of the No. 41 this season,” said Alissa Cherry, VP of Brand and Content Marketing for Worldwide Express. “He is a multi-faceted, well-regarded driver, and we’re so pleased to have him as a steward of our Unishippers brand.”
Daly appeared in the season opening Daytona 500 earlier this year and has also run road course races in the Cup Series races at Circuit of the Americas and Charlotte Motor Speedway. In addition to the Cup starts, Daly competed in the Xfinity Series race at Road America in 2018 and has twice run in the Truck Series at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
