Matt Mills Returns to Niece Motorsports Lineup at Charlotte

Matt Mills, a full-time competitor in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series during the 2024 and 2025 seasons, is preparing to make his return to the Niece Motorsports lineup for the 2026 season's inaugural race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. According to a team press release, Mills will start in the No. 4 Chevrolet Silverado during Friday night's Ecosave 200, with Utilitra serving as the primary sponsor.

Mills expressed his excitement about racing at Charlotte, one of his favorite tracks, and the personal significance of the No. 4 number, which he raced during his upbringing. In 2024, Mills achieved a fourth-place finish at Charlotte, while last season, he secured a seventh-place position. Mills will race alongside crew chief Mike Shiplett, with whom he collaborated last season, resulting in a career-best 17th-place finish in the championship standings.

Over his 71 career starts in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, Mills has secured two top-five finishes and five top-10 positions. Despite being absent from the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series garage this season, Mills has remained active, serving as the car chief for the Niece Motorsports late model program. Niece Motorsports co-owner Greg Fowler praised Mills' contributions to the late model program and expressed anticipation for his return to the truck series at Charlotte.
