MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Matt Gould will make his ARCA Menards Series debut in the No. 40 Niece Motorsports Chevrolet in the Sprecher 150 at the Milwaukee Mile on Sunday, Aug. 28.
Phil Gould, the Niece Motorsports competition director and crew chief of the No. 42 Chevrolet Silverado in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, will serve as the crew chief for Sunday’s race in Milwaukee.
“The whole process leading up to this weekend has been a dream for me,” Gould said. “Getting to work with my dad all throughout the summer preparing our No. 40 Niece Chevrolet has been a great learning experience for me. I’m looking forward to logging laps this weekend and getting a feel for these cars so that we can run more races down the road.”
The 16-year-old native of Mooresville, N.C., is in his third season driving late model stock cars in the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series. He has a win at Hickory Motor Speedway in addition to nine top-five and 12 top-10 finishes.
Gould also earned the pole at Tri-County Speedway with a track-record time in early April. He currently competes for the Track Championship at Hickory Motor Speedway, which will be crowned in November.
In his second season competing in late models in 2021, Gould had a pair of wins at Orange County Speedway and Florence Motor Speedway in a year that saw him race to 13 top-fives, 14 top-10s and a fourth-place finish in the Orange County Speedway season standings.
