Spire Motorsports' recent acquisitions have stirred up the NASCAR community, leading to questions about the legitimacy of the new owners.
The Big Purchases
Spire Motorsports has been on a buying spree, acquiring a $40 million charter from BJ McLeod and even Kyle Busch’s Truck Series team. They've also leased Zane Smith to Trackhouse Racing for a multi-year deal. These moves have raised eyebrows and sparked discussions about the source of their funding.
Addressing the Skepticism
Co-owner Jeff Dickerson addressed the skepticism head-on, stating, "I think what you are asking is are you guys for real? Or something must be going on behind the scenes there." He further added, "I don’t know how many more of these deals we have to do before people know we are for real."
Kyle Busch acknowledged the changes, stating, "My Cup Series team changed this year and our son’s racing schedule has become as demanding as my own." He expressed his desire to spend more time with his family and the number 8 RCR team, indicating that he believes this is the right decision at this point in his life and career.
