2022 Season:

Before the 2021 season, journeyman driver B.J. McLeod, retired driver Matt Tifft, and veteran owner Joe Falk partnered to purchase the charter of Go FAS Racing, to form Live Fast Motorsports. While it was an uphill battle in 2021 to establish themselves, the team looked towards 2022 and the NextGen car as a chance to gain a more competitive footing in the Cup Series.

2022 did not go as the team hoped, however. While co-owner McLeod would make the bulk of the starts, Josh Williams, Andy Lally, Scott Heckert, and Kyle Tilley would all slide behind the wheel of the #78 Mustang throughout the season. With only partial sponsorship from Motorsport Games, and a handful of mechanical failures, Live Fast was fighting to remain competitive, but showed perseverance and that they belonged.

While the team would run towards the back most weeks, there were some highlights. McLeod collected a lead-lap 19th in the first Atlanta race, as well as a solid 7th in the summer at Daytona. Unfortunately, 7 DNFs counter-acted any progress the team could make.

Also, important to note…of 5 drivers that saw seat time in 2022, only Kyle Tilley (who made 2 road course starts) was officially declared for Cup Series points.

2023 Season:

No official plans have been announced as of this writing. Being a chartered team, expect a return for 2023.
