While Reif will share the ride with others in 2026, he is thankful for the opportunity to carry the bulk of the schedule on his shoulders, and the Henderson, Nevada native is looking forward to the challenges ahead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so thankful to everyone at Niece Motorsports for this opportunity to race more for them next year,\u201d said Reif.\u00a0\u201cMaking my debut in Phoenix was a dream come true, and I feel like all of the guys and I connected pretty quickly. Now that we have a larger schedule planned ahead of us, I look forward to racing on all types of tracks that I\u2019ve never been to before. We all\u00a0are already working to prepare for next year, and I can\u2019t wait for our first race together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The incredible effort put in by Reif, a three-time race winner in the ARCA Menards Series West, at Phoenix Raceway, further opened the eyes of the Niece Motorsports team, which feels they have found a diamond in the rough in Reif.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTyler proved to us all that he was ready to run more races after his\u00a0performance in Phoenix,\u201d said Cody Efaw, President &amp; CEO of the race team. \u201cI was impressed by his ability to learn\u00a0as the race weekend went on, and his feedback to the\u00a0team steered them in the right direction. We think he will continue to improve\u00a0as we take him to several different\u00a0tracks on the\u00a0schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An official schedule, or total number of races that Reif will compete in, was not included in the announcement, but will be announced at a later date, as will the remainder of the driver roster announcements for the No. 42 team.
