Spencer Boyd comments
“This is a wildly proud moment for me,” Boyd opened in a team release.
“If you asked a wide-eyed 20-year-old me at Martinsville Speedway if I was going to start my own NASCAR team in the next decade, I might have laughed it off. I have been blessed to be able to race cars for a living and remain part of the NASCAR family for as long as I have.”
“I wouldn’t be here without a small group of very important people to my career so I definitely want to thank them for believing in me through thick and thin. They know who they are and hope they are sharing in this feeling of pride.”
“My parents had no idea what they were getting into when they put me in a go-kart at five years old, but I hope my father Paul and my mother Bonnie will take a moment to realize all the sacrifices they made have led us here. This step in my career is one that allows me to build something that keeps the Boyd name in NASCAR competition for the long haul.
He concluded, “I am beyond grateful for this opportunity and look forward to an exciting future.”
Chris Miller comments
“This is an invigorating endeavor with some very competent people,” said Chris Miller.
“Business success is about surrounding yourself with good people all pulling the rope in the same direction and that is what we have here. I look forward to being part of the journey.”
Jeff Hammond comments
“I’m motivated by the optimism and professionalism in the group of people that Spencer has assembled,” Hammond stated.
“The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is undergoing many changes this off-season so it is an ideal time to form a new team. We know the Trucks produce some of the greatest racing in the world, so I’m delighted to be energized by Spencer Boyd and Freedom Racing Enterprises!”
