Big Move Alert: RCR Shakes Things Up Before Martinsville!

Austin Dillon's crew chief swap could be the strategic masterstroke RCR needed! As the team gears up for Martinsville Speedway, RCR drops a bombshell – an unexpected crew chief change that has fans buzzing.

"We're shaking up the deck, people! Justin Alexander's back calling the shots for the No. 3 team, and Keith Rodden’s moving up the ranks to fine-tune our beasts on the track," says Andy Petree, executive VP at Richard Childress Racing.

  • Keith Rodden parts ways with the pit box he joined only ahead of 2023.
  • Joel Keller steps into the spotlight as the new lead engineer.
  • Alexander is no stranger to Dillon; they have a history of victories!

It's the return of a dynamic duo – Alexander and Dillon have clinched major wins like the Coca-Cola 600 and the Daytona 500 together. Will this reunion be their ticket back to the top?

Why change now? RCR is playing the long game.

In a turnaround move, RCR’s targeting peak performance across the board. Rodden's vast experience is being harnessed to amp up the organization's car capabilities.

  • Alexander led Dillon to triumph at Texas in 2020 and Daytona in 2022.
  • The clear goal: secure a spot in the NASCAR Playoffs and drive RCR to glory.

Can the Alexander-Dillon team push past the current 28th place standing? With the NASCAR Playoffs in sight and a single top-20 finish under their belt, this duo is hungry for more. The crew shakeup might just be the ignition they need!
