Niece Motorsports Taps Parsons For Phoenix Finale

SALISBURY, N.C. — Stefan Parsons is set to wheel Niece Motorsports’ No. 44 entry at Phoenix Raceway on Nov. 8, the team announced on Wednesday morning.

Parsons is a second-generation driver with a rich family history in the sport. Stefan’s father, Phil Parsons, is a former race-winning NASCAR Cup Series driver turned FOX Sports analyst. His uncle, Benny Parsons, is a NASCAR Hall of Famer (Class of 2017) having won the 1973 Cup Series championship.

As the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season comes to a close, Parsons looks to wrap up an impressive part-time schedule. In 10 Truck Series starts this season driving the No. 75 Chevrolet for Henderson Motorsports, Parsons earned three top-10 finishes with a best result of sixth place in the season opener at Daytona (Fla.) Int’l Speedway.

“I am very much looking forward to joining Niece Motorsports for the season finale in Phoenix,” said Parsons. “It’s been a good season for us in the Truck Series this year, and I can’t wait to get a shot at driving one of Al Niece’s trucks. I know this team has some top-notch equipment and it shows with the results they have on a weekly basis.

“I can’t thank PopSells.com enough for their support of me, along with Al, Cody (Efaw), and Chevrolet for this opportunity.”

Pop, which will serve as Parsons’ primary partner for the race, is the country’s largest online, full-service marketplace for recreational vehicles and boats.

“We are excited to partner with Stefan and Niece Motorsports for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Championship Race,” said Michael Adams, CEO of Pop. “Our brand has been well-represented by Stefan all season, on and off the track.”
