# Tim Fedewa

Timothy Fedewa (pronounced "fee-doo-wuh"; born May 9, 1967) is an American professional racing driver and spotter. He works for Team Penske as the spotter for Ryan Blaney's No. 12 Ford Mustang in the NASCAR Cup Series.
As a driver, he previously competed in the NASCAR Busch Series (now Xfinity), NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, American Speed Association and ARTGO. As a spotter, Fedewa previously worked for Stewart-Haas Racing as a spotter in the Cup Series for their No. 4 car driven by Kevin Harvick and in the Xfinity Series for their No. 98 car driven by Riley Herbst.

## Racing career
### Driving career

After winning Rookie of the Year award in the ARTGO Challenge Series Fedewa went on to join the American Speed Association. Fedewa scored one top five finish. A third place at Winchester (Indiana) Speedway, And five top 10s on his way to the ASA's Pat Schauer rookie of the award in 1991. During Fedewa's time in the ASA his car owners Ray and Diane Dewitt also owned the RaDIUS team that fielded cars for former ASA standout Ted Musgrave in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series. Fedewa drove the No. 55 D-R Racing Enterprises Ford. Fedewa's NASCAR career began when he started racing full-time in the NASCAR Busch Series for the 1993 season. He would finish second for Rookie of the Year honors, and in the five years that followed, he won three races and finished in the top-ten in points four times; his highest finishes were 7th in both 1995 and 1998. He began piloting the No. 36 Chevrolet Monte Carlo in 1999 and would continue to for two-and-a-half years, until he and the team parted ways during the 2001 season.
Fedewa made one Cup start in 1994 for Ray DeWitt at Dover; he finished 23rd. He made a brief return to the series in 2000 in a relief appearance at the Coca-Cola 600, substituting for injured Petty Enterprises driver John Andretti.
After acting as spotter to Bill Elliott and then later to Kerry Earnhardt, he was ironically hired by FitzBradshaw Racing in 2003 to replace Earnhardt in the No. 12 Dodge. In racing for the team, Fedewa reached as high as 9th in the 2004 points standings before dropping to 16th by the end of the season. Fedewa's 2nd-place finish stands as the best finish of any Fitz Bradshaw driver ever.
In 2005, Fedewa failed to finish in the top-ten in twenty-one Busch Series starts, and was subsequently released by FitzBradshaw Racing on July 25, 2005. A week later, he was signed by Glynn Motorsports, a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team, to drive the No. 65 Dodge. He raced in seven events for the team; his highest finish was 10th at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Fedewa's last NASCAR start as a driver came in the Truck Series in 2006 when he drove the No. 40 for Key Motorsports at Las Vegas, finishing 29th.

### Spotting career

After he was unable to find a ride as a driver in NASCAR in 2007, Fedewa became a spotter, joining the new Red Bull Racing Team as the spotter for their No. 84 Toyota Camry driven by rookie A. J. Allmendinger. Fedewa remained the spotter of the car in 2009 when it was renumbered to the No. 82 driven by rookie Scott Speed.
Fedewa would eventually move to Richard Petty Motorsports to serve as the spotter for their No. 9 car driven by Marcos Ambrose.
In 2014, Fedewa left RPM and went to Stewart-Haas Racing when Kevin Harvick joined the team from Richard Childress Racing to drive their No. 4 car (previously the No. 39 driven by Ryan Newman). They won the 2014 Cup Series championship in their first year together.
In 2016, in addition to Harvick's No. 4 SHR car in the Cup Series, Fedewa spotted for the No. 88 JR Motorsports car in the Xfinity Series in select races, Spencer Gallagher's No. 23 in the Truck Series for GMS Racing, Noah Gragson's No. 7 car for Jefferson Pitts Racing in the K&N Pro Series East and West, and Chad Finley's No. 51 car in the ARCA Racing Series.
Fedewa also started spotting for SHR in the Xfinity Series when they started fielding two full-time cars, with the addition of the No. 98 (formerly of Biagi-DenBeste Racing) driven by Chase Briscoe. When Briscoe moved up to the Cup Series full-time for SHR in 2021, Fedewa remained the spotter of the No. 98 Xfinity Series car with new driver Riley Herbst. Fedewa would remain Harvick's spotter in the Cup Series all the way through his retirement from driving full-time in NASCAR in 2023 for a total of 10 years together.
In 2024, Fedewa did not continue with SHR and the No. 4 car with new driver Josh Berry and instead moved to Team Penske to spot for defending Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney's No. 12 car, replacing Josh Williams after he left the team.

## Personal life

Tim's uncle Gary, father Butch, multiple cousins, grandmother Hilda, and grandfather Willie were also racing drivers. The Fedewa family eventually moved from Michigan to North Carolina so Butch and his wife/Tim's mother Sharon could support their son's NASCAR career.
Fedewa is married to model Kellee Meadows and they have one child, Willow Josephine Fedewa, born on January 8, 2009.
