James A. Dick IV (born October 22, 1957) is an American professional racing driver and businessman. He is the proprietor of the El Paso, Texas-based Viva Autosport chain of car dealerships, has driven in the NASCAR SuperTruck Series, and formerly owned the NASCAR Nationwide Series team Viva Motorsports.
Coming from a family of businessmen, Dick bought his first car dealership in El Paso, Texas in 1985. [1] By 2007, Dick owned six new car dealerships and three used car dealerships, [1] and rebranded all of the dealerships under a new Viva Autosport name. [2] By 2016, that number had grown to 13 and the Viva chain of dealerships had expanded to New Mexico. [3]
He later owned and sponsored a NASCAR Nationwide Series team, Viva Motorsports, which ran entries for Dick's son, Jamie Dick. [4]
After participating in a 1988 charity race at El Paso Speedway Park, Dick decided to become a sprint car racer, only to decide against it some time later due to safety risks and a lack of advancement opportunities. [5] He ran a limited schedule in the NASCAR Winston West Series in 1994, hoping to use that experience as a springboard to running some NASCAR Winston Cup Series races in 1995 or 1996. [5] In 1995, Dick ran three NASCAR SuperTruck Series races, scoring a best finish of 17th at Colorado National Speedway. [6]
Dick was previously married, but divorced his wife. [7]
