Watkins Glen is one incredible facility Here’s the full top 10: 1. Watkins Glen International - Watkins Glen, N.Y. 2. Martinsville Speedway - Ridgeway, Va. 3. Michigan International Speedway - Brooklyn, Mich. 4. Bristol Motor Speedway - Bristol, Tenn. 5. Darlington Raceway - Darlington, S.C. 6. Kansas Speedway - Kansas C I love when they run road courses....I really enjoy when the Busch Cars run them as well. Never been to one but The Glen is definitely on my list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Richard Childress Racing makes crew chief change for Austin Dillon Richard Childress Racing has made a change in crew chiefs for its Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR XFINITY Series programs, effective immediately. Justin Alexander, who has served as the crew chief of the #2 Rheem/Menards Chevrolet for RCR and earned two wins last season in the NASCAR XFINITY Series, will assume crew chief responsibilities for the #3 Dow/American Ethanol/AAA Chevrolet SS team in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series with driver Austin Dillon. Alexander holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering from North Carolina State University. Prior to RCR, Alexander served in various engineering roles with Hendrick Motorsports. Alexander's first race in his new role will be for the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 28, replacing Richard "Slugger" Labbe. Labbe is leaving the company to pursue other opportunities. Randall Burnett, who previously served as a crew chief for RCR's technical partner JTG Daugherty Racing, will assume a new role as crew chief of the #2 Rheem/Menards Chevrolet in the NASCAR XFINITY Series beginning at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 27. Burnett holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering from UNC Charlotte. Prior to JTG Daugherty Racing, he spent 10 years as an engineer at Chip Ganassi Racing.
