Circle Sport-Leavine Family Racing Names Crew Chief and VP of Operations

With the announcement of Circle Sport Racing and Leavine Family Racing merging and then Last week with the announcement of Michael McDowell and Ty Dillon sharing the ride nothing but good things are coming and going into speedweeks which is where the merged team will make it's debut twice. McDowell and Ty Dillon will both enter the 58th Annual Daytona 500. Last season both drivers raced their way into the Daytona 500 and I expect nothing less in this year's Can Am Duels. Today the team announced the new crew chief for the Merged team. The man who will be calling the shots for both McDowell and Ty Dillon will be Dave Winston. Veteran Crew Chief who has been with a list of very successful drivers that includes Greg Biffle, Brian Vickers, Kurt Busch and Jamie McMurray. Winston has been an Engineer at Roush Fenway Racing and Will Join the CSLFR Team in 2016. "Dave is a perfect fit for our team having worked at both large and small organizations," said Bob
Leavine, Partner in CSLFR. "He understands the budget constraints of a small team but knows what is required to make the team more competitive. I really like his engineering background as that is a key factor in our alliance with RCR. Understanding and being able to incorporate setup changes from simulation data is an important part of the crew chief's responsibility. Dave is very organized and has already gained the respect of our staff in a short period of time. I'm really proud to have him on our team." Also announced today was the Vice President of Circle Sport-Leavine Family and his name is Jeremy Lange. Jeremy is an excellent fit for the job in my opinion and is a good friend of mine! Jeremy Lange joined Leavine Family Racing in 2013 bringing more than 15 years of experience in advertising, marketing and sales to the team. He has worked in NASCAR for more than ten years, first joining the sport after securing his MBA from the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University. "Over the past two and a
half years Jeremy had taken on more responsibility than just his marketing role," said Leavine. "On a small team it's all about having a 'whatever it takes attitude' and Jeremy is the first one to volunteer for extra work. A perfect combination of desire, experience and education makes Jeremy a valuable officer of our growing organization." We wish this team the best of luck in 2016! We surely can guarantee you will hear from them more in 2016! (Koelle,2016)
