Ross Chastain originally announced on Twitter that he would pilot the #45 Chevrolet for Niece Motorsports in this weekend’s United Rentals 176 at The Glen, but he is ineligible since it is the regular season finale for the Truck Series, and he earns points in the Cup Series. On Wednesday, Niece announced that Chastain’s brother Chad will pilot the #45 Chevrolet instead.
