SALISBURY, NC (July 1, 2026) – Donovan Strauss and Niece Motorsports are proud to welcome a first-time partner into the sport for Strauss’ NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series (NCTS) debut at North Wilkesboro Speedway on July 18.
Nightclubs Suck, a performance lifestyle apparel company co-founded by Ty Martin and Clayton Wilson, will back Strauss’ efforts, serving as the primary sponsor on his No. 4 Chevrolet Silverado RST.
With a background in endurance sports, the co-founders of Nightclubs Suck created the apparel line in tandem with a rigorous training program to prepare athletes for triathlons. The brand produces quality activewear suited to take on challenging environments with style and durability.
“Our partnership with Niece Motorsports and Donovan Strauss means the world for our brand because we feel extremely aligned with our driver and the mission on what Nightclubs Suck is all about – which is really just living a different life,” said Martin. “Being a professional driver is a very atypical life, and we live a very atypical lifestyle with the training that we do as triathletes and IRONMAN racers. We’re all about people, and everyone here on the Niece Motorsports team has been great to work with, so we couldn’t be more pumped for this opportunity.”
Strauss, 20, has past experience at North Wilkesboro having competed in two zMAX CARS Tour Late Model Stock Series races at the historic track last year. He will pull double duty this year in both the CARS Tour and NCTS races in just over two weeks from now.
“This partnership that we’ve developed with Nightclubs Suck is very meaningful,” said Strauss. “Ty and Clayton live a lifestyle that I pursue as well, and I feel like we have very similar goals in where we want to go in life and what we’re trying to put out in the world. Having their support in my debut race at North Wilkesboro is very special to me. Racing in NASCAR has been something I’ve been pursuing since I was a little kid, and I’ve truly been dreaming of this opportunity my whole life.”
