Travis Pastrana, Cleetus McFarland Teaming Up with Niece for Daytona Craftsman Truck Series Event

Niece Motorsports will field NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series entries for Cleetus McFarland and Travis Pastrana for the season-opening Fresh From Florida 250 at Daytona International Speedway on February 13.

With support from BRUNT Workwear and Black Rifle Coffe Company, McFarland and Pastrana will be teammates for the Daytona opener, contingent upon NASCAR approval for McFarland following a scheduled test at Rockingham Speedway on Tuesday, February 10.

Pastrana will field the No. 42 BRUNT Workwear Chevrolet Silverado, while McFarland will drive the No. 4 Black Rifle Coffee Company Chevrolet Silverado.

Pastrana is known worldwide for his exploits in action sports, with multiple X Games gold medals on his resume. He has also made starts in all three of NASCAR's National Series, most recently finishing 11th in the 2023 Daytona 500.

“I’m pumped to get back on track at Daytona,” Pastrana said. “This will be my first NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race since 2023, so jumping back into the Niece Chevrolet is going to be a blast. Daytona is one of those places where anything can happen, and lining up with Cleetus and Ricky just adds to the fun.

"BRUNT and Black Rifle Coffee Company have been awesome partners, from everything we’re doing at Pastranaland to Channel 199, so it’s pretty cool to take on this next challenge together and see how it plays out.”

McFarland has become one of the most recognizable personalities in motorsports and the automotive world with his YouTube channel, which has millions of subscribers. McFarland has been growing his on-track resume over the past year, including four starts in the ARCA Menards Series in 2025. He earned top-10 finishes at both Charlotte Motor Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway in those four appearances.

“I’ve been lucky to drive a lot of really cool stuff, but Daytona in a NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck is a whole new level,” McFarland said. “This is my first time in the series, so I know it’s going to push me way outside my comfort zone, and that’s what makes it so exciting. I’m incredibly grateful to have partners like Black Rifle Coffee Company, BRUNT and Niece Motorsports backing us every step of the way. We’re going to go have some fun and see what this thing can do.”

The effort will be documented through a multi-episode video series on Channel 199, Pastrana's YouTube platform, with behind-the-scenes access in the buildup to the Fresh From Florida 250. Black Rifle Coffee Company, Pastrana, McFarland, BRUNT and Niece Motorsports will also make a combined $100,000 donation to Boot Campaign, a nonprofit organization dedicated to uniting Americans to honor and restore the lives of veterans and military families through individualized, life-improving care.

The Fresh From Florida 250 takes place on Friday, February 13 at 7:30 p.m. ET, with coverage on Fox Sports 1.
