Brian Pattie, who was a crew chief for Kyle Busch Motorsports last season, will serve as the crew chief for the No. 7 team. Spire Motorsports will field the entry full-time this season while using an “all-star lineup.”
Pattie is a veteran crew chief with 738 races atop the pit box across the three national NASCAR series. He has celebrated six Cup wins, 11 Xfinity wins and three Truck wins. Pattie won two races with Kyle Busch last season.
“We’ve been working with Bluegreen Vacations now for four years so it’s exciting to continue to grow that partnership,” LaJoie said in a press release. “Bluegreen sponsors the Duals on Thursday night, so it’s important we do a good job for them because they have such a big presence during Speedweek at Daytona.
“Having them on our truck and giving them a chance to root for me—hopefully we can get that Bluegreen Chevrolet Silverado in Victory Lane on Friday night.”
