Following the exit of Randall Burnett from the team, Richard Childress Racing has named Kyle Busch's new crew chief for the 2026 NASCAR Cup Season.
Jim Pohlman will climb atop the pit box for the No. 8 Chevrolet next year as the organization desperately seeks improvement. Pohlman is a proven champion, leading Justin Allgaier and the No. 7 JR Motorsports Chevrolet to the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series championship.
