Napier returned to Martinsville in 2017, this time with TJL Motorsports. An early oil leak dropped him to last.{{Cite web|url=http://brock.lastcar.info/2017/04/trucks-bryce-napiers-oil-leak-begins.html|title=TRUCKS: Bryce Napier’s oil leak begins rough weekend for #1 in NASCAR|website=brock.lastcar.info|access-date=2017-06-20}} On June 13, 2017, it was announced that Napier would run four races with Jennifer Jo Cobb Racing, including a race at Talladega Superspeedway after he turned 18.{{Cite news|url=http://www.espn.com/jayski/trucks/2017/story/_/id/19624536/napier-run-four-races-jjcr|title=Napier to run four races with JJCR|work=ESPN.com|access-date=2017-06-20}} In the first race of the agreement, at Gateway Motorsports Park, Napier crashed in qualifying and had to move to JJC Racing's backup, the No. 0.{{Cite web|url=http://brock.lastcar.info/2017/06/trucks-jennifer-jo-cobb-pieces-together.html|title=TRUCKS: Jennifer Jo Cobb pieces together battered truck, then calls it a night at Gateway|website=brock.lastcar.info|access-date=2017-06-20}} Napier returned at Iowa, this time in the 10, but dropped out early after running the truck under a start and park operation.
