BJ McLeod hoping to qualify for NASCAR Daytona 500 in 2024 with Live Fast Motorsports

Live Fast Motorsports co-owner BJ McLeod, driving the #78 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 on a part-time basis, had a below-average campaign in the recently concluded 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season. He finished behind the top 20 most of the time.

During a media availability this week, McLeod said Live Fast Motorsports will attempt to qualify for the 2024 Daytona 500, which is scheduled to be held on February 18 at the historic Daytona International Speedway. He secured a 30th-place finish in this year’s Daytona 500.

Live Fast Motorsports was competitive at Superspeedway this past season. McLeod is looking to compete in all six of the Superspeedway races in 2024. He also revealed that they could run road course races with Josh Bilicki, who competed in all five road courses in 2023.

“We’re still going to be in Cup part time. I’m looking to run the [superspeedways] because we’re competitive there and then if we can put a driver in for the road courses. We showed great speed at the road courses this year with Josh Bilicki. He ran exceptionally well and that’s something that we’re looking forward in trying to put together,” McLeod said as reported by jayski.com.

Live Fast Motorsports has had high hopes this past season after moving to Chevrolet and receiving support from ECR, as well as some help from Richard Childress Racing. The team didn’t show an improvement in performance and sold their charter to Spire Motorsports for $40 million.
