Justin Alexander moves into the crew chief role on the No. 3 ahead of Martinsville Speedway
Richard Childress Racing has made adjustments to their No. 3 team head of this weekend’s race at Martinsville Speedway.
Justin Alexander will be the new crew chief for Austin Dillon beginning this weekend. Alexander was formerly the competition director for RCR.
Keith Rodden was the former crew chief for Dillon. The two had been paired since 2023. Rodden is moving to a larger overall role within RCR.
Additionally, Joel Keller has been moved to the lead engineer of the No. 3 car.
Andy Petree comments
“The organizational changes were made to help Richard Childress Racing’s overall NASCAR Cup Series program as we prepare for the rest of the season and locking two teams into the NASCAR Playoffs,” said Andy Petree, executive vice president for RCR.
“Justin Alexander and Austin Dillon share a unique chemistry that has proven effective in the past. We want to thank Keith Rodden for his leadership of the No. 3 team and know that the contributions he will continue to make to RCR in his new role will be valuable across the organization.”
Dillon has yet to score a top-10 finish in 2024. He picked up 7 top-10s in 2023.
