Andres Perez de Lara’s 2026 NASCAR Truck Series season preview
Dec. 31, 2025, 12:00 a.m. ET
Andres Perez de Lara is expected to drive for Niece Motorsports during the 2026 NASCAR Truck Series season. De Lara started the 2025 campaign with Spire Motorsports, but parted ways en route to Niece Motorsports. The driver of the No. 44 truck performed well following his departure from Spire Motorsports.
In 2026, de Lara should focus even more on his development while becoming a weekly fixture in the top 10 spots. When Niece Motorsport is running at its best, the drivers are capable of winning Truck Series races. However, the NASCAR organization hasn’t been as strong since Carson Hocevar left for the NASCAR Cup Series.
De Lara wants to become a household name in the Truck Series, and Niece Motorsports could help him reach that goal. It may not be in 2026, but de Lara is seeking to win his first Truck Series race sooner rather than later. If Niece Motorsports can provide faster trucks in 2026, that certainly seems like a possibility.
