Spire Motorsports was established in 2018 and is co-owned by longtime NASCAR industry executives Dickerson and Thaddeus “T.J.” Puchyr. “We believe in the ownership model that NASCAR has built and where this sport is going now more than ever.” NASCAR has managed several difficult situations this spring and into the summer,” Dickerson added. “These are no doubt trying times, but I have never been prouder to be part of this sport. His ability to connect with fans was genuine and we are thankful he chose us to carry this team forward. When you build something with your family, it always means a little bit more. We won’t let that be lost in this transaction. He also did it with his family at his side. He built a team brick by brick and we have long admired how he took his own steps in the garage. “Bob Leavine invested more than money into LFR and this industry.
