Leavine Family Racing moving into Penske shop following fire

Leavine Family Racing will temporarily move into the building which houses the shops of fellow Ford team Team Penske in Mooresville, North Carolina following a fire that caused significant damage to the Leavine shop, including the loss of four of the team's Sprint Cup Ford Fusions. Leavine's driver Michael McDowell and his crew were practicing at Kansas Speedway on Friday when the fire broke out. The team still competed in the Cup race on Saturday night and then returned to their Concord, North Carolina facility to assess the damage. Team Penske's building contains the shops of the #2 and #22 Ford Fusions driven by Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano, as well as the famous Wood Brothers #21 car, currently driven part-time by Penske development driver Ryan Blaney. Leavine said they expect to return to their own shop eventually.
