Eric Wilson has stepped down as head coach of RCR’s pit crews effective immediately. Wilson took over the coaching job 3 years ago when Matt Clark was released. Wilson’s plans are unclear to us at this time but what is clear is that Ray Wright will be taking over. Wright has been the strength and conditioning coach for the last 7 years and will now transition to the coaching role. Ray was also the rear tire carrier for the #27 of Paul Menard. Taking his place over the wall will be Adam Mestenmacher. As far as the strength condition role goes, we are hearing that Tyler Radar will be taking over the void for the foreseeable future. Rader also fuels the #30 Cup car on Sundays.

Good luck to Ray in his new job and all the RCR pit crews.
