This small team has a great group of employees, along with a solid group of drivers, that continue to help the organization grow.”

After several years in the NASCAR Cup Series garage, handling everything from Public Relations to Marketing and Sponsorships to Team Relations, Fegley’s hands on approach has helped to elevate her career as one of the few female GM’s in the sport.

“Growing up, I always dreamed that I would get to work within the NASCAR industry. Never did I believe that I would have the opportunity to help build and grow a NASCAR Cup Series team. Rick and Lisa are great people, who have given me an amazing opportunity in this sport. I am beyond thankful, and can’t wait to see where RWR grows to in the near future,” Fegley said.
