Brian Pattie enters his second season with Spire Motorsports, calling the shots for a rotating roster of all-star caliper drivers aboard the team’s No. 7 Chevrolet Silverado. Last season, the 49-year-old led the No. 7 team to two wins, six top-five and 12 top-10 finishes. The team also qualified for the series’ owners’ championship, ultimately finishing the year eighth in the season-ending point standings. Pattie spent 14 seasons atop the pit box in the NASCAR Cup Series (NCS), where his drivers produced six wins, nine poles, 57 top-five and 131 top-10 finishes across 528 starts. In 2012, he guided Clint Bowyer to three victories and a runner-up finish in the NCS championship standings. In 2017, he guided Ricky Stenhouse Jr. to a pair of wins and a berth in NCS the playoffs. The Florida native has also recorded 11 wins in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. The 2023 season marked his first year in the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series garage where he guided Kyle Busch Motorsports’ No. 51 team with a rotating roster of drivers throughout the year. Pattie and Busch secured two wins on the season, visiting Victory Lane at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and securing KBM’s 100th and final race win at Pocono Raceway. The duo finished inside the top five in four of their five starts and never finished outside the top seven. Pattie is one of a select few crew chiefs to have won races across all three of NASCAR’s Cup, Xfinity and CRAFTSMAN Truck Series.
