Matt Swiderski serving as acting crew chief for Josh Berry at Kansas

Matt Swiderski will serve as acting crew chief for Wood Brothers Racing’s No. 21 Ford this weekend at Kansas Speedway, the team confirmed to NASCAR.com on Wednesday.

Miles Stanley, the permanent crew chief for Josh Berry, is not traveling this weekend due to personal reasons, according to a team spokesperson.

Swiderski joined Wood Brothers in the offseason as the team’s performance engineer director after five years as a Cup Series crew chief. He spent the last two seasons at Trackhouse Racing, leading Daniel Suárez and the No. 99 team. Swiderski also spent three seasons at Kaulig Racing. Swiderski has three Cup victories – one with Suárez and two with AJ Allmendinger.
