In preparation for the demanding 2025 NASCAR Cup Series, Spire Motorsports has collaborated with Fly Alliance to enhance travel efficiency and support. The partnership will focus on two key events: the August 23 Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway and a later race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Michael McDowell, who won the 2021 Daytona 500, will drive the No. 71 Fly Alliance Chevrolet ZL1 during these high-profile races, underscoring the team‘s commitment to success both on the track and in logistics.
Fly Alliance’s Expertise Meets NASCAR’s Rigorous Schedule
Fly Alliance is known for offering one of the largest private jet fleets with exceptional flexibility, safety, and luxury. This arrangement ensures the Spire Motorsports team, including drivers and crew chiefs, meets tight schedules and navigates the 38-race series with maximum efficiency. Christopher Tasca, Fly Alliance President and Co-Founder, emphasized the company‘s unique understanding of motorsports’ demands, drawing on his experience as a Lamborghini Super Trofeo driver and business leader.
We founded Fly Alliance to deliver best-in-class private aviation solutions for elite travelers, and there’s no industry that demands precision, speed, and flexibility quite like motorsports,
said Tasca.
As both a business leader and a driver in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo series, I understand firsthand the intense logistical demands of racing—from tight schedules to rapid team movement and equipment transport. Our partnership with Spire Motorsports reflects Fly Alliance’s deep commitment to performance, reliability, and service. We’re proud to support their journey both in the air and on the track.
Aircraft Service Enhances Team Communication and Comfort
Beyond transportation, Fly Alliance jets provide a private, comfortable setting where team ownership and leaders can coordinate with drivers and crew chiefs during race weekends. Jeff Dickerson, co-owner of Spire Motorsports, highlighted Fly Alliance’s capability to respond instantly to the unpredictable nature of motorsports travel.
When you work in a business that demands flexibility and many times requires on-demand air travel, it’s imperative to partner with an organization that understands those demands and can react in real time,
explained Dickerson.
Chris Tasca and his team at Fly Alliance are the best in the private aviation business and their fleet is second to none. We don’t just depend on Fly Alliance to get us from place to place, we also utilize their aircraft to serve as a comfortable and private space where I can communicate with our drivers, crew chiefs and team leaders before and after a race weekend. No detail is ever left to chance, and safety is always the first priority. The service has been exceptional since our first flight.
Key Races Highlight Partnership in 2025 NASCAR Season
The Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway will mark the first of the two events showcasing the Michael McDowell Fly Alliance Racing collaboration. This race is crucial, as it concludes the regular season and sets the stage for NASCAR’s 16-team playoff bracket vying for the 2025 championship. Later, Justin Haley, McDowell’s teammate at Spire Motorsports, will drive a Fly Alliance-branded car at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, rounding out the team’s presence in key 1.5-mile oval races.
Fly Alliance’s Commitment to Premium Aviation Solutions
Fly Alliance’s dedication to providing tailored aviation services includes maintaining a global network of jets that meet the rigorous standards of elite customers, such as NASCAR teams.
