MOORESVILLE, N.C. — David Ingram Jr. will be the crew chief for B.J. McLeod and the No. 78 Chevrolet Camaro in the NASCAR Cup Series this season.
“I couldn’t be more excited to start this new venture with B.J. as both of us have been in the racing industry for as long as I can remember, and we’ve known each other for over 25 years,” Ingram Jr. said. “In 2016 when B.J. and Jessica (McLeod) started B.J. McLeod Motorsports, we talked about how we would one day be where we are today. I am confident that our strong bond and past driver, and driver-crew chief experience will help us create a solid environment for Live Fast Motorsports.
“I am grateful to work with such an amazing group of guys and drivers who want to bring Live Fast Motorsports to the next level for our owners, sponsors, fans, and of course, for ourselves.”
Ingram Jr. previously held a dual role, serving as both the crew chief for B.J. McLeod Motorsports’ No. 5 car entry in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, as well as the Competition Director for Live Fast Motorsports.
“David brings a tremendous amount of knowledge to our team,” said Matt Tifft, co-owner of Live Fast Motorsports. “Seeing how focused and determined he is at the race track made this decision a no brainer. As our program continues to elevate, we are very proud to bring in David’s expertise and showcase his leadership qualities and skills.”
