Entering the 2025 NASCAR Cup Playoffs, Trackhouse Racing is making a very rare change to its pit crew roster. It’s newsworthy because Ross Chastain's pit crew has been essentially unchanged since he first started racing for Trackhouse in 2022, bringing his Chip Ganassi Racing team with him.
However, as the championship playoffs get underway, the team has made a decisive change. Josh Appleby, who was the jackman for the No. 99 Trackhouse Chevrolet with Daniel Suarez, is now on the No. 1 with Chastain. The No. 99 has consistently been the best of the three Trackhouse entries on pit road, and as pointed out by Motorsport.com contributor Bozi Tatarevic, Appleby is the No. 1 ranked jackman at the moment.
