Welcome to The Show … Mason Massey, driver of the No. 20 Mongoose Power Solutions Chevrolet Silverado RST will make his NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series (NCTS) debut with McAnally Hilgemann Racing (MHR) this Friday night at Richmond Raceway for the Black’s Tire 250. Massey is no stranger to the 0.750 mile D-shaped oval short track as he has made two previous starts in the NCTS and three previous starts in the Saturday series at Richmond. The Douglasville, Ga native will be accompanied by No. 20 truck crew chief Dewey Townsend for his NCTS schedule with MHR starting under the lights this Friday night at Richmond.
Familiar Face … Team owner, Bill McAnally, has been carrying a familiar relationship with the young driver as he currently runs full-time for McAnally in his ARCA Menards Series West program along side teammate Hailee Deegan. In just eight ARCA West starts, Massey has rallied to victory twice so far and is on the path to chasing the Championship title for the 2026 season. Massey is heading into Richmond this weekend coming off his second career win at Portland International Raceway in a dramatic chase to the checkered flag. Massey is ready to take that next step and make his mark in the truck series this weekend in Virginia.
Mongoose Returns … Veteran Massey partner, Mongoose Power Solutions, will adorn the iconic teal and electric yellow paint scheme and ride along side the young driver under the light Friday night at Richmond. Mongoose Power Solutions champions onsite emergency power for mission-critical facilities that can’t afford downtime—hospitals, data centers, emergency response hubs, and more. By aligning with motorsports, they highlight the same values that drive their work—performance, reliability, and resilience under pressure.
Tune In … Television coverage on the Blacks Tire 250 will begin Friday afternoon with practice and qualifying starting at 1:00 PM ET on FS2, followed by the wave of the green flag at 7:30 PM ET on FS1.

Mason Massey Quote:
“I am super stoked about the truck debut this weekend with MHR. We have been on a really high note in the ARCA West program and I am just really thankful to Bill (McAnally, team owner) and the No. 20 guys for letting me jump in and hopefully give them a good run. Racing for this organization has been such a blast this season and I am looking forward to proving my talents in the coming truck events. We have such powerful partners behind us and I can’t thank them all enough for their continued support in making this dream come to life.”
