DEARBORN, Mich. — DQS Solutions & Staffing, recognized as one of Michigan’s fastest-growing companies and a leader in innovative workforce and operational solutions, today announced a significant national strategic investment.

CEO Josh Morris, alongside Greg Fowler, CEO of J.F. Electric, and his family, has acquired a majority ownership stake in Niece Motorsports, a prominent team in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series. This acquisition provides a great opportunity for DQS to build on its existing comprehensive service model, extending its influence and impact from Michigan to the national stage. 

"This acquisition is far more than an investment in racing; it’s a powerful testament to our commitment to operational excellence, strategic growth, and the revitalization of key industries, particularly right here in metro Detroit," said Josh Morris, CEO of DQS Solutions & Staffing. "Niece Motorsports is a world-class organization, and we see immense potential to amplify its impact for partners, fans, and the community. This huge investment allows DQS to showcase our integrated services and solutions across the entire operational spectrum, far beyond just staffing. We're directly applying our expertise to touch all pieces of the supply chain, manufacturing, transportation, and security within the team's operations.” 

DQS's proven business success is rooted in solving complex operational challenges. This new ownership stake deepens its commitment to Niece Motorsports' performance and growth by actively leveraging DQS's operational prowess. Since early 2025, DQS has provided strategic back-office support, including HR, accounting, and operational improvements.

With the new ownership structure, the partnership will expand to enhance marketing, public relations, hospitality, and full-service video production capabilities, transforming the team into an even more valuable platform for brand partnerships and fan engagement. 

The team will continue to race under the Niece Motorsports name, with newly elevated leadership: Cody Efaw as President & CEO, Amanda Efaw as Chief Marketing Officer, and Phil Gould as Director of Competition. These leaders will oversee expanded racing operations and competitive strategies while preserving the team’s culture of performance and collaboration. 

For the Detroit business community, this move represents another example of a Michigan-grown company making a substantial national impact. "Our roots are deeply embedded in Michigan, and we're incredibly proud to carry that entrepreneurial spirit directly into NASCAR," says Morris. “From streamlining complex logistics to perfecting pit lane strategies, we know that teamwork, precision, and relentless preparation are what win races; whether those races are in business or on the track.”
