Justin Haley is likely just looking for a little bit of stability in the 2025 NASCAR Cup season after losing four crew members, his car chief and now his crew chief since the beginning of April.
Car Chief Robert “Cheddar” Smith left at the start of the month to take over those same duties for Ty Gibbs at Joe Gibbs Racing. His replacement, Doug Powers, was actually ejected from Talladega after Haley's car failed pre-race inspection twice. Haley also has four new pit crew members after both his front and rear tire changers, jackman and tire carrier were given to Kyle Larson's No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports team in a swap between the allied organizations.
