The iconic crew chief believed that McCarty was an incredible racing driver and he deserved to continue what he does best which is racing. Interestingly, McCarty is a three-time CARS Tour Champion for the Late Model Stock division, winning the titles in 2018, 2019 & 2021.
Bobby McCarty urges NASCAR Community to help save his career
The statement posted over social media by Bobby McCarty stated, “I’m not usually one to post stuff like this on here but desperate times call for desperate measures. Everyone knows racing is expensive and I’ve been very fortunate to have great partners throughout the years to keep it going.”
“At the end of this past season, I lost a major partner and if I don’t find any, unfortunately, my career will be over. I’m a mechanic at a small mom-and-pop shop so there is no backup plan for me. If you would please share this to help get the word out that I am needing help. I have a lot of years left in me and I know next year we can compete for a another championship.”
McCarty’s main problem is the fact that he lost a major partner and everyone is aware that racing requires deep pockets, and if someone within the community is aware of somebody to get him a deal for the foreseeable future it would be of great help.
