STATESVILLE, N.C. — Connor Hall will make his NASCAR Craftsman Trucks Series debut driving the No. 91 A-All Mini Storage Chevrolet Silverado RST for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing at Richmond (Va.) Raceway on Aug. 10, the team announced Wednesday.
Hall, a native of Hampton, Virginia, has proven himself to be one of the elite competitors in asphalt late model racing nationwide. He currently leads both the zMAX CARS Tour Late Model Stock championship and the Virginia Triple Crown standings, and is the defending NASCAR Weekly Series national champion.
The 27-year-old currently has a 29-point advantage in the CARS Tour late model stock standings and scored a victory at his home track of Langley Speedway on June 1. Hall has made Langley his own personal playground over the last 18 months by capturing the track championship in 2023 and started last season with 11-consecutive feature wins en route to his national championship.
The Virginian hopes to translate his late model stock success in the Commonwealth to his Truck Series debut at Richmond.
“Every driver wants the chance at an opportunity like this, and I want to make the most of it”, Hall said. “Of all the places on the Truck Series schedule, I think Richmond will fit my driving style the best and the kind of racing we have in late model stocks can translate well.
“I’m incredibly excited for it, and I have to thank Bill McAnally, TowneBank, A-All Mini Storage, and everyone at MHR for making this happen.”
Hall will join the No. 91 team which will be led by Darren Fraley at Richmond. The No. 91 team is currently 12th in the Truck Series owners’ point standings, 39 points behind the provisional cut line entering the regular season finale.
“We’re really looking forward to having Connor drive for us at Richmond,” team owner Bill McAnally said. “He has been one of the best late model drivers in the nation over the past couple of years and is absolutely deserving of this.
“He has the talent to win races and has shown the determination to do it. All that he needed was an opportunity and we’re glad to be able to make this a reality.”
