“Jessica (McLeod) has been a crucial asset to LFM since the start,” said Tifft. “Her direction, hard work and dedication to the team have served as foundational assets leading us to successes in our team’s first-year, 2021. Today as LFM starts our second-year racing in the Cup Series, it feels right to give credit where credit is due, by naming Jessica with the well-deserved title and promotion of CEO.”
“LFM is honored to name Jessica as CEO,” said co-owner, driver and husband B.J. McLeod. “Jessica’s commitment to this team is surreal. She carries tons of behind-the-scenes responsibilities and is a great leader to every employee and crew member on this team.”
