Tad Geschickter, team owner for #47 Clorox/Wisk and #59 Kingsford/Bush’s Best Baked Beans cars at ST Motorsports, announced Saturday Dan Deeringhoff has been hired as the new crew
chief for the #47 Ford and driver Robert Pressley. Deeringhoff, who previously worked as the car chief for Ron Hornaday Jr.’s Busch Series team at Richard Childress Racing, was with the team during Saturday’s Carquest Auto Parts 300 at the Lowe’s Motor Speedway. His first race, however, will be next Saturday’s MBNA 200 at the Dover International Speedway. Geschickter also announced that Steve Plattenberger, who had been Pressley’s crew chief, was promoted to a newly-created position where he will coordinate communication at the track between both teams and handle all shock development for both teams. He will work directly with both crew chiefs and drivers to ensure that each team knows what adjustments are being made and how they are affecting the cars.(ST Motorsports PR)(6-1-2004)
