On this week’s episode of Frontstretch Happy Hour, hosts Trey Lyle (subbing for Bryan Nolen), Michael Massie and Dalton Hopkins are joined by Connor Hall of Niece Motorsports.
Hall is a two-time national champion in the NASCAR Local Racing Series Powered by O’Reilly Auto Parts, a Virginia Triple Crown champion and a three-time zMAX CARS Tour championship runner-up. He joined Niece this year after a successful stint in JR Motorsports’ Late Model Stock Car program. Hall will drive the No. 4 for Niece at Rockingham Speedway, is helping the team to start a LMSC program and is working on the crew at other NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races.
The hosting trio talk to Hall about his transition to Niece, preparations for Rockingham and how he ruined a chance to compete at Daytona International Speedway because of his Travis Pastrana fandom.
Daniel Dye Suspended Due To Social Media Post
After Hall departs, the three hosts discuss the feud between former Trackhouse Racing teammates Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez that reached a boiling point at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
They then get into Daniel Dye‘s suspension after homophobic remarks on a livestream. That conversation leads to an analysis of Ford’s current lack of a pipeline for driver development and how it could impact the OEM down the road.

If that’s a boiling point between Suarez and Chastain nobody has anything to worry about. As for Dye
Dads $$ apparently can get a seat but can’t fix stupid.
