Home Track Debut … Connor Hall has earned the biggest opportunity of his young career to make his NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Trucks Series (NCTS) debut on Saturday night at Richmond Raceway. Hall, a native of Langley, Va., will pilot the No. 91 A-All Mini Storage, TowneBank Chevrolet Silverado RST, roughly 70 miles from his hometown. At 27 years old, he has become one of the most decorated and accomplished drivers in asphalt late model competition nationwide. Hall won the NASCAR Weekly Series national championship last season and is currently leading Division I of the NASCAR Weekly standings this season.
Earned the Right … Hall is the quintessential “Saturday night racer” that has earned the right to compete in NASCAR’s national levels. His accomplishments over the last two seasons are lengthy as he currently leads the zMAX CARS Tour Late Model Stock championship standings and the prestigious Virginia Triple Crown. Hall is currently leading the CARS Tour standings by 12 points and has the lowest average finish through two of three races in the Virginia Triple Crown. He earned a CARS Tour victory at his home track at Langley Speedway this season and dominated there last season by earning 11-straight feature wins en route to his 2023 national championship.
Season to Date … Hall’s debut comes in the NCTS regular season finale as the No. 91 team is still mathematically eligible to qualify for the owners’ points standings, 39 points behind the cut line. Hall is the fourth driver to pilot the No. 91 Chevrolet this season, as Jack Wood, 2022 NCTS champion Zane Smith, and Vicente Salas have combined to place the entry 12th in the owners’ standings. The team has collected three top-five, four top-10, and seven top-15 finishes through 15 races.
Tune In … Every lap of Hall’s NCTS debut will be televised live on FOX Sports 1, beginning with practice and qualifying at 2:30 p.m. ET Saturday afternoon, followed by the green flag at 2:30 p.m. ET.

Connor Hall Quote:
On making his debut at Richmond:
“This is the opportunity I’ve been waiting for and really excited to take advantage of it. The success and speed that MHR has had this season speaks for itself, so this is going to be a great group to race with. There’s not much practice, but I think the surface at Richmond and the tire fall off will be similar to a lot of the places I’m used to in the late model stocks. Making your tires last and being consistent throughout the run seems to pay off at Richmond, so hopefully I can get comfortable quickly in practice and go to work in the race.”
