SPI Network (a.k.a. Sergio Power, Inc.) is a racing team competing in the AmeriCar ProLaps Championship Road Racing Series. It is a development team and subsidiary of Power Steering, Inc., managed by Sergio Power, the son of PSI owner William Power.

SPI was formed in 2014 to manage the operations of PSI in the FARC Elite Series. Drivers Rip Tyler, Bigsby Foote, and Libby Bell continued to see the speed and success as they had with PSI; in 2014 Bell took three wins, Tyler took two, and part-time driver Reid Bullet took his first career victory. In 2015, Tyler took another two wins and his second Elite Series championship, Bell took two wins, and Foote took one more.

After 2015, Sergio Power decided to have his FARC veterans take on a new challenge, moving Tyler, Foote, and Bell, their teams, and the SPI moniker to AmeriCar, with Power Surge America and its drivers Billy Bob Childers and Jim Kidd joining FARC.

SPI currently fields cars in the AC-1 division for Bell, Foote, and Sara Topps, with Rip Tyler returning to FARC after the 2017 season.
