Richard Childress Racing is set to run a third car part-time in 2025

Richard Childress Racing will expand to a three car team for select races in the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season.

Andy Street is being promoted to the crew chief for the entry. Street first signed with RCR in 2003. In the last three seasons, he’s been the crew chief of the No. 21 Xfinity Series car.

Chad Haney will take over as crew chief of the No. 21 car for 2025. Austin Hill will be the driver.

The third Cup entry will be run by several drivers.

Richard Childress comments

“Andy Street brings a wealth of knowledge to our NASCAR Cup Series program as we continue to evaluate ways to build a deeper bench and promote from within,” said Richard Childress, Chairman and CEO of Richard Childress Racing in the team release.

“This move gives Andy the chance to gain NextGen experience and have a bigger opportunity on the Cup side while still contributing to our Xfinity Series program and working with our alliance partners.”

“Chad Haney is already well situated for his new position as crew chief of the No.21 Chevrolet given his most recent experience as head mechanic liaison between RCR and our alliances. He’s very detailed and has built trust and camaraderie with the team. I know he will work well with Danny Stockman, who is a great mentor for young drivers and has built a strong program with Jesse Love.”

“Danny Lawrence will continue to provide leadership to the Xfinity program and help build RCR for the future.”
