UPDATE: Approaching the Indianapolis Motor Speedway race weekend, JTG Daugherty Racing announced today significant changes that include a new general manager and crew chief change for the #47 single-car NASCAR Sprint Cup Series operation. Bobby Hutchens joins the racing organization as general manager. ‘Bobby Hutchens is someone I have admired for a long time and the individual I ‘ve turned to many times for direction over my 18 years as a car owner,’ said JTG Daugherty Racing co-owner Tad Geschickter. ‘In my opinion, he is the best in the business and we are fortunate to have someone of his caliber step in to help steer our team in the right direction during this important transition.’
David Hyder will assume the role as interim crew chief for this weekend’s race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. ‘We have our eye on the crew chief that we want for the long term, but couldn ‘t get it all done in time for the next few races,’ Geschickter said. ‘We would rather make the right decision for the long term. We are fortunate to have David Hyder working at JTG Daugherty Racing every day as crew chief for the K&N; Pro Series East team that we have been preparing each week for Cale Conley. He has a wealth of Sprint Cup experience and we know he will do a great job until we make our decision.’ Todd Berrier, who joined JTG Daugherty Racing at the end of the 2011 season as crew chief and general manager, recently accepted a position with another team that was announced today. Labonte’s team is prepared for the Brickyard this weekend as they display SCOTT Products on the hood of the #47 Toyota.(JTG Daugherty Racing)(7-24-2012)
