MOORESVILLE, N.C. — F.N.B. Corporation, one of the 50 largest bank holding companies in the United States, and Kris Wright, driver of the No. 44 Chevrolet Silverado for Niece Motorsports, will partner for third consecutive season, starting with NASCAR Camping World Truck Series NextEra Energy 250 at Daytona Int’l Speedway Feb. 18.
“We do not take it lightly when companies invest in our program,” Al Niece, team owner of Niece Motorsports, said. “We are really looking forward to getting the season started and having Kris join our team this year, as well as bringing F.N.B. Corporation into the fold. What started as a little team has really grown and the whole organization is excited for the year ahead. Every team member is working hard to bring fast Chevrolet Silverados to the track and make our partners proud.”
Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pa., FNB will be the primary partner of the No. 44 Chevrolet Silverado at the Daytona. FNB’s red and blue will adorn the No. 44 Chevrolet Silverado with a patriotic paint scheme.
“It is awesome to have F.N.B. Corporation partner with us for the third year in a row, at one of the biggest events in motorsports, at Daytona,” Wright said. “I am really excited to start this season with a returning partner, a new team, and with new goals in mind.”
FNB first partnered with Wright in 2020 at the DAYTONA Road Course in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series for his debut in NASCAR national series competition. In 2021, Wright competed in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for seven road course events with F.N.B. Corporation, recording a career-best finish of 17th-place at the Watkins Glen (N.Y.) Int’l.
Wright has one start in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at the 2.5-mile tri-oval in Daytona Beach, Fla. He posted a 12th-place finish at the Daytona on February 12, 2021. The result produced a career-best finish in the series for Wright.
