Ron Lewis, Jr., the long-time spotter for part-time NASCAR Cup Series organization Beard Motorsports, has passed away, the team confirmed in a social media post on Thursday evening.

According to NASCAR’s Roster Portal, Lewis was 53 years old.

The team’s statement reads: “The Beard family and Beard Motorsports team are heartbroken over the passing of Ron Lewis. Ron has been with us since 2017. We have so many wonderful memories over the last eight years and we send our sincere condolences to his family. Rest easy, Ron.”

No details were provided on the death of the Beard Motorsports spotter.

Earlier this season, Lewis partnered up with DGM Racing for the NASCAR Xfinity Series event at Portland International Raceway, serving as a spotter for the No. 91 Chevrolet Camaro and driver Kyle Weatherman.

In his final race as a NASCAR Cup Series spotter, Lewis was paired with rookie driver Parker Retzlaff, making his second start in NASCAR’s premier division and his first start with Beard Motorsports.

The No. 62 Beard Motorsports entry was in the mix during the race’s closing laps, giving Harrison Burton the push he needed to capture his 100th win for Wood Brothers Racing. Retzlaff faded to seventh off the final corner, after being shucked out of line.

Beard Motorsports, in some form, has been involved in NASCAR’s National Series for quite some time, debuting in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 1982. In 2017, the team returned to competition in the Cup Series, with Lewis as part.

During his time at Beard Motorsports, Lewis has worked with several drivers, including Brendan Gaughan, Justin Allgaier, Noah Gragson, Austin Hill, Anthony Alfredo, and Parker Retzlaff.
