SMD Creates 75th NASCAR Xfinity Series Start Logo for BJ McLeod at Bristol

By Shawn Magee in Logo Design,Motorsports Design,New Projects,Recent News

The Fitzgerald Glider Kits 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway was set to be a special weekend for BJ McLeod Motorsports. On April 14th, 2018, BJ would race in his 75th NASCAR XFINITY Series (NXS) Race. To commemorate this milestone, Shawn Magee, Owner of Shawn Magee Design (SMD), collaborated with the BJMM team to create a custom decal highlighting his success in the NASCAR Infinity Series.

The sponsors and team were over-joyed of this achievement of their owner/ driver as they unpacked the car from the team hauler in the infield of Bristol Motor Speedway. Things were going smoothly until a mechanical issue with the #78 sent BJ straight into the wall during practice. The throttle was stuck causing BJ to lose control and take a hard hit into the safer barrier. Fortunately, BJ was okay but the #78 was in bad shape.

After the BJMM team assessed the damage, they determined that the car was beyond repair for this race. As a small, underfunded team, BJMM did not bring a backup car. Fortunately they were only 3 hours from their home base in Mooresville, NC. BJ and the team left that afternoon and worked through the night at their shop in Mooresville to prepare a replacement car to enter into the Fitzgerald Gliders Kits 300 on Saturday. They arrived back at Bristol Motor Speedway in the early morning only hours before qualifying. The #78 was sent through NASCAR pre-race inspection and was back out on pit road for qualifying.

With little to no sleep and running an untested backup car that was only a few hours old, BJ ended up qualifying 26th out of 40 cars entered, missing the next stage cutoff by only one position. The team had pulled off an incredible feat that was fueled by sheer determination and a strong passion to succeed in a big money sport.

BJ had a solid day, avoiding a few crashes that ended the day for many competitors in the Xfinity series such as Christopher Bell, Kaz Grala and others. When the smoke cleared, BJ and the BJMM team had earned every bit of a top 20 finish. After a weekend of unplanned hurtles, the small team from Mooresville held their own and embodied the definition of a true dedicated race team.
