Live Fast Motorsports Switches From Ford To Chevrolet

As Live Fast Motorsports heads into its third year as a full-time Nascar Cup Series team, the No. 78 car will switch over from Ford to Chevrolet.

The move to Chevrolet comes after Live Fast Motorsports was the lowest ranked chartered entry in the 2022 season, ending the year 36th in the owner’s standings after finishing 32nd in 2021. Co-owned by BJ McLeod and Matt Tifft, the youngest owner in the sport, the team will now receive ECR engines.

“Our team is excited to make this transition to Chevrolet,” McLeod said. “Chevrolet Camaros have proven great success on the track and Live Fast Motorsports is looking forward to becoming a part of this advance.”

McLeod himself competed in 29 races in 2022, earning one top-10 finish at Daytona in August.

Andy Lally, Scott Heckert, Kyle Tilley and Josh Williams filled out the remainder of the schedule for Live Fast Motorsports. The team’s 2023 driver lineup has not been announced.

The team started in 2021 after Go Fas Racing shut its doors. Tifft, who could no longer race after suffering multiple seizures, entered the ownership realm at the same time as Michael Jordan and Pitbull.

They pair alligned with Joe Falk, who is the owner of the Cup Series charter that Go Fas also utilized. Live Fast previously had an alliance with Stewart-Haas Racing, but it is unknown if it will partner with another Chevrolet team in 2023.
