Chastain Reuniting With Niece For Atlanta Truck Race

MOORESVILLE, N.C. – Ross Chastain will reunite with Niece Motorsports to pilot the No. 44 CircleBDiecast.com Chevrolet Silverado during the March 20 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

“Racing is what I love to do, so anytime I can come race in the Truck Series, I’m excited to do it,” said Chastain. “A huge thank you to Chip and everyone at Ganassi for allowing me to come race with Niece Motorsports. I enjoy working with the group at Niece Motorsports, they always have fast Chevrolets ready to go. I’m looking forward to contending for a win, because we had such a strong truck in this race last year.”

The paint scheme Chastain will pilot pays homage to Terry Labonte’s Piedmont Airlines car, which Labonte – a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion – drove for car owner Billy Hagan from 1984-’86 at the top level of American stock car racing.

Niece Motorsports and Chastain have strong ties – Chastain earned the organization’s first victory at Kansas Speedway in May 2019.

He earned two additional wins in 2019 on his way to a runner-up finish in the driver’s championship.

“Ross has done so much for this organization, we’re excited any time we can get him back in a truck,” said Niece Motorsports general manager Cody Efaw. “Every time Ross gets in a truck you know you’re going to get his best effort. Our whole organization has been working as hard as we can to build great trucks for all four teams, so we are looking forward to a successful weekend in Atlanta.”

Plan B Sales was founded in 2010 with the goal of bringing service to dealers that carry licensed motorsports product. Plan B Sales started as a Lionel diecast and Chase Authentics apparel distributor.

Over the last few years Plan B Sales has grown into the largest account for Lionel, servicing the motorsports market, and has expanded its product offerings.

Plan B Sales quickly became the choice of dealers for a stocking one-stop distributor. Its product offering also includes Auto World, Greenlight Collectibles, BrandArt and are the exclusive distributor for University of Racing product lines.

Last September, Plan B Sales elected to split its wholesale and retail business into two different websites to better serve each segment of customers, effectively launching CircleBDiecast.com.
