'''Mark "Simo" Simonaitis''' (born October 1, 1959) is an American race car driver and entrepreneur. He is the twin brother of racer [[Brian Simo]]. Currently, he is the CEO of [[No Fear]], and a co-owner of [[No Fear Racing]].

Simo has made two [[NASCAR]] [[Craftsman Truck Series]] races, first in his self-owned #94 [[Mac Tools]] [[Ford F-150]], and later in the #28 [[Federated Auto Parts]] Ford for [[Ernie Irvan]]. His best finish was sixth. Simo fielded the #44 entry full-time as an owner from 1995 to 1998. [[Joe Ruttman]] drove the truck in its first season with sponsorship from [[Coca-Cola]], Mac, and 1-800 COLLECT, winning twice. [[Bryan Reffner]] drove the next season and won Rookie of the Year, before [[Boris Said]] became the team's new driver with Federated sponsoring. In two years, Said won one race at [[Infineon Raceway|Sears Point]]. Following the 1998 season, Simo fielded the #14 car part-time in the Winston Cup Series for Said and [[Randy LaJoie]], and the Busch Series for Irvan. He and Irvan planned to field a full-time Winston Cup entry in 2000, but were unable to find sponsorship and leased their equipment to [[Robby Gordon]].
