Thad Moffitt comments

“This is the opportunity I’ve been waiting for,” Moffitt said.

“I’m thrilled that Lane has put his trust in me to begin this new venture with him in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with Faction46. This past year, I had a full season in the Trans Am Series, but I always wanted to have the opportunity to race full-time in NASCAR and begin in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.

Moffitt concluded, “I’m pretty pumped up about this opportunity.”

Team Owner: Lane Moore

“I’ve enjoyed working and getting to know the Petty family and Thad,” Moore said.

“It all accumulated to this day and the beginning of Faction46 and what I hope to be a long stay in NASCAR. The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series offers some of the best, most exciting racing for both young and seasoned drivers. I’m proud to be part of the series with Thad as we earn the respect of the other teams.

He concluded, “I have to thank Niece Motorsports for their assistance in helping us as we grow.”
