The team will compete for the 2023 USAC Silver Crown Championship with current USAC Midget Car standout Kaylee Bryson and recently won the prestigious National Sprint Car event at Indianapolis Raceway Park in June of 2022 with veteran driver Tanner Swanson.

The SPR Stock Car Team fields multiple Chevy Camaros in the highly competitive Trans Am TA2 Series – the premier platform for aspiring NASCAR drivers to develop valuable road racing skills at America’s most iconic road courses.

Through its affiliation with LSI Racing SPR drivers also race Chevrolet Corvettes in the Trans Am SGT Series. The potent LSI / SPR combined effort is lead by legendary Crew Chief Chris Santucci. The team won at Watkins Glen International in 2019 and finished second in 2022 with company principal and primary driver Aaron Pierce. 

Pierce is a multiple USAC Silver Crown Series winner. He was 2003 Rookie of the Year and holds the all-time Series speed record of 174mph set at Kansas International Speedway in 2006. “AP” is one of only 2 drivers to win a USAC Silver Crown race at the fabled Darlington Raceway - the other is A.J.
