ARCA Menards Series

Fast Track Racing announced that Garvie was to make his ARCA debut at Memphis with Andy Hillenburg, but failed to start due to a problem with the engine after practice. A few weeks later he went on to make his ARCA East debut at Five Flags Speedway. He ran the first three races of the 2021 ARCA Menards Series for Fast Track Racing in the No. 11, where he finished 17th at Daytona, 19th at Phoenix and 25th at Talladega and also participated in the first two East Series races of 2021 at New Smyrna and Five Flags Speedway. He didn't return to ARCA competition until Bristol in September 2021, where he would finish 23rd, driving the No. 01. Garvie returned to Fast Track Racing in 2022 at Talladega driving the No. 10 car in a partnership with pharmaceutical company Rugiet.

Political career

Richard Garvie joined the Labour Party in 2010 in Newbury, Berkshire and was quickly appointed as the Spokesperson and Campaign Co-ordinator for that constituency. Six months after joining the party, Garvie led Labour to a 9.6% vote share at the West Berkshire District Council Elections, up from 0.4% at the 2007 District Elections. [1] Garvie led a variety of campaigns in the Constituency in addition to National campaigns fighting cuts to the Railway industry and was also appointed to the Labour Party Football Group that sought to influence Party policy on issues relating to the National Game. Garvie stood for selection in Milton Keynes South - finishing runner up to Andrew Pakes - and in Bristol North West where he would finish runner up to Darren Jones, the now MP. Garvie was selected to contest the 2015 General Election in Wellingborough against Conservative Peter Bone MP. A very bitter election campaign followed, and a strange turn of events a week prior to polling day would derail his campaign. At the 2015 general election, Garvie stood for Parliament in Wellingborough as a Labour candidate. A week before the election, Garvie was suspended by the party after a dispute over how he paid for around £740 worth of train tickets dating back to journeys taken in 2008 using a bank account that appeared to have insufficient funds led to him appearing in court. The charge filed was fraud by misrepresentation and initially Garvie was sentenced to around sixty hours of community service and to pay any monies owed to the railway company if East Midlands Trains could prove that they were owed any money. At the hearing, Garvie's bank Lloyd's of London insisted that they had no concerns as to how his bank account had been used in these transactions and these details were covered in a blog post by Lawyer and New Statesman Journalist David Allen Green on his Law and Policy Blog questioning whether Garvie had actually committed any offence. Garvie later appealed prior to moving to the United States later in 2015. [2] Despite his suspension, Garvie still appeared on the ballot paper as the Labour candidate, and finished third of five candidates, with 9,839 votes (19.5%). [3]

Personal life

Garvie is from Corby in Northamptonshire. While living in the UK, Garvie worked as a TV anchor on motorsport programs for Premier Sports and as a radio personality on various stations around England and Scotland. Garvie was also responsible for keeping NASCAR on television in the UK after Sky Sports ended coverage following the 2010 Daytona 500. [4] In 2011, Garvie again brokered the deal to keep NASCAR on television in the UK & Ireland by taking the coverage to Premier Sports TV with sponsorship from 3M who at the time were a sponsor of Greg Biffle. [5] [6] As part of this deal, coverage of BRISCA Formula 1 and MASCAR events were also televised in the United Kingdom.

Garvie moved to the US in 2015 and lives in Minneola, Florida [7] and until 2022 operated various event, festival and media companies since arriving in the United States. [8]
