Team driver Jusin Allgaier’s crew chief, Jim Pohlman, will leave the organisation for a career in the Cup Series with Richard Childress Racing.The #7 Chevy’s crew chief previously worked with the Cup Series team during the 2022 season. Following his new role, he will replace the #8 Chevy crew chief, Randall Burnett, in the 2026 season. Pohlman had a successful stint with JR Motorsports. He led Justin Allgaier to his first-ever Xfinity Series championship in 2024.Following that, Dale Earnhardt Jr. expressed his feelings on replacing someone like Pohlman. He explained:"It is hard to replace a guy like Jim. I told Jim I wanted him to stay, but I knew that he had this opportunity and that it was great for him to go and hear it out, right?""Um, he's worked at RCR before, so he knows that environment. He would know himself whether that's a comfortable environment for him. He's been there. And, uh, you know, he made the choice to go, and I love it. I think, you know, it's tough to replace him," he added.Richard Childress Racing announced the change after Kyle Busch’s struggles in the 2024 season. Busch has been winless since last season. Additionally, he broke his streak of winning at least a single race each season and missed the playoffs in 2024 and 2025.
