A change in management occurred last week when Richard Childress Racing [#’s 29,30,31,33] promoted Mike Dillon, a former Busch Series competitor and Richard Childress’ son-in-law, to general manager. Bobby Hutchens was named vice president of competition. Childress says RCR has been operating as a three-team organization despite its growth to five full-time teams in Cup and Busch. Childress did not rule out additional changes with his teams if performance does not pick up. Dillon added, “We’re trying to improve all aspects of competition, and the change will take some of the weight off Bobby’s shoulders.” The move will allow Hutchens to spend more time with the engineering and R&D departments.(FoxSports/Sporting News)(6-7-2004)
