Spire Motorsports continues to add high-level talent and experience to the organization’s strengthening competition department. On Monday, the three-car NASCAR Cup Series team added Matt McCall as the Director of Vehicle Performance and Dax Gerringer as Technical Director.

McCall, who has 11 years of experience as a crew chief in the NASCAR Cup Series, comes to Spire Motorsports after a three-year stint as Brad Keselowski’s crew chief at RFK Racing. It’s also a reunion of sorts for McCall, who was actually represented by Spire Motorsports co-owner Jeff Dickerson when he was a budding race car driver.

“I am really excited and grateful for this opportunity,” said McCall in a team press release. “Spire Motorsports’ upward trajectory has been impressive and I look forward to becoming part of the success. I’ve had a long relationship with Dickerson and I’ve known him for close to 25 years. I got to know him when he was doing driver representation, and I was trying to carve out a career as a driver. We built a great relationship and have always stayed in communication. The way things panned out, there was an opportunity to come to Spire. We always wanted to work together, and the timing was right. That was a big part of my decision. Knowing what’s being built here and what the future looks like is exciting.”

The signing of McCall is an impactful signing, and one that is of great importance to Dickerson.

“This is a great addition for our team and one that means a lot to me, personally,” said Dickerson. “Matt is a longtime friend, one of my first handful of NASCAR clients I had when I was a young agent, and we’ve always shared the same view of how race cars work and race teams operate. I’m happy the stars finally aligned for us to work together, and I look forward to adding him to an already impressive group for 2025.”

Gerringer comes to Spire Motorsports with more than 20 years of experience in the NASCAR National Series ranks. Most recently, Gerringer served as the lead race engineer for the No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing NASCAR Cup Series team. He’ll be reunited with Rodney Childers, who joined Spire as the crew chief of the No. 7 team, and he’ll also aid Luke Lambert and Travis Peterson, the team’s other two crew chiefs, in 2025.

“The addition of Dax Gerringer continues to demonstrate the priority Spire Motorsports places on adding technical depth to our team,” said Spire Motorsports president Doug Duchardt. “Dax is a talented engineer who was highly sought after in the industry. We are very fortunate to add him to our roster. I look forward to seeing him work with Matt McCall and our crew chiefs. We have complete confidence their collective efforts will result in fast race cars and a very competitive on-track product.”

Heading into Thanksgiving later this week, Gerringer says he has a lot to be thankful for.

“I am honored and thankful to join the Spire family and contribute to the rising momentum of this young race team,” said Gerringer.?“The atmosphere Jeff (Dickerson) created with his race team and the support I felt from management to accept the challenge of a new role is ultimately what attracted me to Spire Motorsports.?They stressed team effort with everyone pulling the rope in the same direction and that creates a great working environment.? With over 20 years in the sport and 34 wins at the Cup Series level, my goal is to join this talented group and bring the best possible product to the racetrack to elevate Spire Motorsports performance.”

McCall and Gerringer will work alongside Ryan Sparks, the team’s competition director in 2025 as the team attempts to continue taking steps forward.
