Ives has three victories for Dale Earnhardt Jr. as well as one Xfinity Series championship with Chase Elliott in 2014. He graduated from Michigan Technological University in 2003, and was employed at Hendrick Motorsports as a mechanic in 2004.[3] In addition, he was a lead engineer of the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports car during the team's five consecutive championships between 2006 and 2010.[4] In 2013, Ives moved to JR Motorsports as crew chief for Regan Smith.[4]
