The 2024 NASCAR Cup season has been really hard on Richard Childress Racing, with Austin Dillon’s controversial race win from Richmond being the only triumph. Both of their drivers missed out on the playoffs, with mistakes from the crew and racers ruining the handful of opportunity they got to secure wins.

But despite these struggles, the team is getting ready for the 2025 season and has announced that they will be fielding a third car for multiple races, for multiple racers. They are expecting this change help them to bounce back strong next year. They have also announced some big changes to their crew chief line-up, with Andy Street getting the responsibility of the third team.

RCR announces it will run a third Cup team for multiple races w/multiple drivers. Andy Street, who was crew chief for Austin Hill, will crew chief … Chad Haney, who was at RCR helping with alliances, will crew chief Austin Hill … Danny Stockman remains Jesse Love crew chief.

One of the drivers that is going to be racing in the third RCR car will be Will Brown, the reigning Supercars champion. He has announced that he would be racing in two events this season and is also interested racing in the Chicago Street race. It will be interesting to see who will be the other drivers that will get an opportunity in the RCR cars.
