Lia and Mark Sypher have joined forces to run the
2015 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour (NWMT) in the No. 8
Chevrolet.
Lia, the 2007 and 2009 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour
champion, is looking forward to this new
opportunity. In late October, it was announced that
the two-time champion would be parting ways with
Mystic Missile Racing, which he had raced for since
2007.
“I’m really excited about this new challenge,” said
Lia. “I want to thank Mark for his interest in
partnering with me and for the opportunity to drive
his cars. We’re really creating a new team from the
ground up and it’s exciting to have this fresh
start.”
Sypher, who has been a NWMT team owner for nine
years, is excited about the opportunity to combine
resources with Lia and build a championship
contending team in 2015.
“Joining forces with Donny is going to put us in a
great position for 2015,” said Sypher. “I do want to
note that I wish Glenn Reen the best in his next
opportunity. He’s a hard working individual and did
a great job with what we had. This decision
primarily is based on combining resources with Donny
to create a better race team and contend for a
championship this year.”
Lia, who has 17 wins in the touring series, will
pilot a LFR Chassis in 2015.
“I really think we’ll have a championship winning
team right out of the gate,” continued Lia. “We’ve
got good cars, good motors and some good people.
I’ll have a few guys coming back from my #18 days,
which I’m really excited about. There’s no reason
why we couldn’t compete for wins right away.”
The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour season opens up with
the Icebreaker race at Thompson Speedway on April
10-12. |
