Richard Childress Racing President Addresses Front-Office Overhaul

Richard Childress Racing president Mike Verlander says there is no timeline to replace Richard Boswell as Austin Dillon's crew chief, and an internal hire is in play.

Richard Childress Racing president Mike Verlander addressed the front-office overhaul recently. The team has not set a timeline for naming Austin Dillon's next crew chief. Verlander discussed the changes on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. RCR is considering candidates both inside and outside the company. Richard Boswell, who has been Dillon’s crew chief for the past two seasons, will become vice president of competition in 2027.

Boswell is a former driver with over 15 years of professional motorsports experience. He will remain on Dillon’s pit box for the season’s final seven races. Art Trejo, a former officer in the U.S. Navy, will fill the newly created director of development and innovation position. Trejo brings a unique set of experiences and a new way of thinking to the team.

The changes aim to ensure RCR has the right leadership, technology, and people to compete at the highest level in motorsports.
