Spanesi Americas has partnered with MB Motorsports, the sole surviving original team in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.

Timothy Morgan, COO of Spanesi Americas, said he sees parallels between his company and the team.

“MB Motorsports has a long, long history of finding young talent and grooming them for their future in NASCAR,” Morgan said. “At Spanesi Americas, we have been involved with the Collision Repair Education Foundation since our inception, and myself for over 20 years, supporting collision repair, equipment and process to high schools and colleges.”

Naperville, Ill.-based Spanesi Americas specializes in supplying design, equipment and training for collision repair facilities. The company offers consulting, training and 3-D plans “through customized solutions and innovative processes.”

“Timothy is absolutely correct,” said team owner Mike Mittler. “Both our organizations are heavily involved in developing young talent, so we have that synergy going forward. In addition, the people who purchase and utilize their equipment are the same people that fill our grandstands and watch our races week in and week out.”

With the Collision Repair Education Foundation and Automotive Service Excellence scheduled to hold the third annual Cars, Careers & Celebrities Expo on Sept. 15 at Chicagoland Speedway, “there couldn’t be a better time to launch this partnership,” Morgan added. That night, MB Motorsports’ No. 63 Chevy Silverado will carry the Spanesi logo in the Chicagoland 225.

Exit Strategies: Personal Vision & Financial Planning

The most critical first step in an exit or transition plan is to develop a financial plan and personal vision of what your life will look like post-business.

Jerry was a 63-year-old auto body shop owner who contacted me regarding putting together an exit strategy. Like most shop owners, he had become tired of the day-to-day grind of dealing with the back-and-forth fights with the insurance carriers, yet he still loved the idea of being a part of a business he built from the ground up. Ideally, he would have liked his production manager, Evan, to become his heir apparent, yet he had no idea if Evan was interested in owning the shop or if he was even capable of doing so. His shop was a prime candidate for a consolidator, and he had received an offer from one, yet he cared about his employees and wanted to make sure they were taken care of. Also, he was unsure what he would do with himself if he did not have a place to go. He did not know where to turn.
