Fantasy NASCAR Racing

Doran moved from Butler, Pennsylvania to Level Cross, North Carolina in 2006, where he started at Petty Enterprises.  Since 2012, he worked for Stewart-Haas Racing, and has been a member of the #4 team since 2014; and most recently worked on Kevin Harvick’s car at Stewart-Haas Racing.  He was an engineer on the #4 car in 2023.  He got to call six races on occasions when Rodney Childers was suspended.  In 2022 he worked with Harvick on three occasions.  They finished all three races in the top 16 with a best finish of eighth at Homestead.  Working under such a successful crew chief as Childers, Doran should have learned a lot and be able to get as much performance out of his car and driver as possible.  Doran has been hired by Spire Motorsports to be the crew chief of the #71 car, and it’s driver Zane Smith, who is moving up from the Truck series.  Smith was the Truck series champion in 2022.  The #71 team is a collaboration between Spire, and TrackHouse Racing for 2024.  In September, TrackHouse announced a multi-year agreement with Smith and it’s aim to run three full time Cup series cars in 2025.
