Lee Pulliam has announced he will not race full-time in 2018 in a video released by Myrtle Beach Speedway on Friday afternoon.
“I want to be able to put some focus back on my family,” Pulliam said in the video. “My little girl’s growing up fast. I’ve accomplished a lot of cool stuff in racing and I don’t really have anything else to prove on this level. Believe it or not, there are more things in life too so I don’t want to miss out on that stuff.”
Pulliam and his wife, LeAnne, gave birth to their daughter, Brantley, in July 2016.
The decision will also allow Pulliam to focus and put more resources into his growing driver development program.
“I want to take care of my business and make sure my customers are getting 100 percent because, when we’re focusing on me trying to run 50 races a year plus them, it takes away from their program too,” Pulliam commented. “I want to make sure everyone running our shop gets all the detail and focus they can have.”
Pulliam is a four-time NASCAR Whelen All-American Series national champion.
This is a developing story, Race22.com will have updates as they become available.
