Richard Childress Racing Announces Major Overhaul and 2025 Expansion Plans

The team will introduce a part-time third car and implement leadership changes, but questions linger about Kyle Busch's future after a winless season.

• RCR will field a part-time third car in the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series, though drivers and events for this entry have not yet been disclosed.
• Andy Street, previously Austin Hill’s Xfinity Series crew chief, will lead the part-time Cup entry while continuing his Xfinity responsibilities.
• Significant leadership changes include Richard Boswell as the new crew chief for the No. 3 car and John Klausmeier as technical director, aimed at enhancing RCR's competitiveness.
• Kyle Busch, who experienced his first winless Cup season in 2024, faces uncertainty about his future with RCR as his contract ends in 2025.
• Other NASCAR teams, such as Spire Motorsports and 23XI Racing, are also making aggressive moves to strengthen their lineups and operations for the upcoming seasons.
