Both of Roush Fenway Racing’s fulltime NASCAR Xfinity Series teams will have new crew chiefs in 2016. Team officials confirmed Thursday that Matt Puccia, who served as driver Greg Biffle’s crew chief in the Sprint Cup Series this season, will be the new crew chief for Xfinity Series driver #6-Darrell Wallace Jr. in 2016. In addition, Phil Gould, who spent this past season as crew chief for Elliott Sadler, will take over the same role for driver #16-Ryan Reed in the Xfinity Series. Sadler has since moved to JR Motorsports.(Motorsport)(12-18-2015)
UPDATE: Roush Fenway Racing solidified its crew chief lineup for 2016 on Friday. Matt Puccia will direct Bayne’s effort and the #6 team. Initially, Puccia was potentially slated for the #6 Xfinity team with Darrell ‘Bubba’ Wallace. However, the organization elected to stay the course with Seth Barbour who replaced Chad Norris in the crew chief role following the Watkins Glen race in August.(Motorsport)
