Racers Edge Motorsports has announced a transition in ownership as longtime owner Jon Mirachi formally passes the torch to Jim Pattin and Nick Pattin, marking the beginning of a new era for the championship-winning sports car racing organization.

After more than 35 years in the racing industry, Mirachi officially retired in May 2025, concluding a tenure defined by competitive excellence, technical integrity, and a deeply rooted team culture. Under his guidance, Racers Edge Motorsports established itself as a respected force in North American sports car racing, earning multiple championships and long-standing manufacturer and driver relationships.

​​

​

“Jon built something incredibly special,” said Jim Pattin. “The

standards, the reputation,and the culture at Racers Edge Motorsports

exist because of his leadership. Nick and I are proud to carry that

forward.”

​

​​

​Jim Pattin was promoted to Team Manager following Mirachi’s

retirement and will continue in that role while also serving as

Principal Owner. In more than two decades with the team, since 2002,

Pattin has contributed to nearly every area of the organization.

As lead race engineer, Pattin played a key role in many of the team’s

most significant achievements, including becoming one of the world’s

most successful Acura NSX GT3 programs. Pattin will remain actively involved in the technical direction of the team as

lead engineer, while overseeing the team’s business and competitive operations.

​​

​

After serving as the team’s lead mechanic for more than 10 years, Nick Pattin now formally steps into the Crew Chief position as co owner, overseeing race shop workflow, mechanical operations, and preparation standards across all Racers Edge Motorsports customer programs. He has been a key contributor to multiple championship-winning campaigns and is widely respected in the paddock for his hands-on skill and attention to detail.

​​

​

“This transition is about continuity and growth,” said Nick Pattin. “We’re building on what’s already proven — strong preparation, accountability, and teamwork — while continuing to raise the bar.”

​​

​

Jon Mirachi expressed confidence in the

new ownership group. “I have no doubt I’m leaving the team in very capable

hands,” Mirachi said. “Jim has the knowledge and skill set to lead

Racers Edge Motorsports to continued success, and he has experience

in every aspect of the paddock and the race shop. He has grown beyond

being a brilliant engineer and has been an integral part of all our

championship seasons."

​

“Nick is as equally a fine person as his brother, personally, but also extremely

skilled as a mechanic professionally. He has earned his stellar reputation

in the paddock with his methodical preparation, and he respects everyone at the track, from the corner workers and series staff to crew members from other teams. Over the years with Racers Edge Motorsports, Nick has developed into a championship caliber mechanic, and I know he will provide the support and dedication to help lead the team into this next era.”

 

​

As part of this transition, Racers Edge Motorsports is preparing to launch a team rebrand that reflects its new leadership structure and forward-looking vision.  The team also confirmed its intent to continue its partnership with Aston Martin Racing and plans to campaign one of the manufacturer’s cars for the 2026 season. Additional details regarding the team’s racing programs will be announced soon.
