Since coming into the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards in 2014, Mason Mitchell Motorsports (MMM) has quickly become one of the premiere teams. In three full-time seasons the team has accomplished some of ARCA’s highest accolades such as winning the driver/owner championship in 2014, six wins and five pole positions just to name a few.
Now that the 2016 season has concluded the team is preparing in full force for the 2017 season and are making some changes to keep up with the ever changing sport.
Driver/owner of MMM Mason Mitchell and veteran crew chief Kevin Reed will now have sole control of MMM. Reed will oversee the day to day competition operations of MMM as well as leading crew chief while at the track.
Mitchell will continue to manage the day to day duties at MMM while providing experienced coaching and crew chiefing at track. He will be able to focus on the driver development at MMM as well as development inside the shop.
“I am really looking forward to these positive changes for the 2017 season,” Mitchell stated. “I’ve had a great relationship with Kevin dating back to 2012 when I tested one of his cars. He’s a great leader and will be a big asset to this organization moving forward.”
Russ Mitchell who’s served as MMM’s General Manager since its inception in Fall 2013 is stepping down effective immediately.
“I am so happy to see Mason and Kevin become partners,” Russ stated. “They both have a vested interest in something good for their futures. I am immediately at full disconnect with Mason Mitchell Motorsports. I look forward to spending time with my two younger children. I believe with Mason and Kevin working together they will be very successful. I look forward to watching their success on and off the track. I am very happy for them.”
Since coming into the series in 2014, MMM’s earned six wins (Chicagoland, Winchester, Iowa, Kansas, Talladega and Springfield) five pole positions, 28 top-five finishes and 49 top-ten’s.
