Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) recently announced a major shakeup to their NASCAR team’s crew chief lineup. The changes come as SHR looks to improve their performance on the track and build a championship-caliber team.
The most significant change is the promotion of Mike Bugarewicz to the role of Vice President of Competition. Bugarewicz has been with SHR since its inception in 2009 and has served as the team’s crew chief for the past five years. He will now oversee all aspects of competition for the team, including engineering, aerodynamics, and race strategy.
In addition, SHR has named veteran crew chief Greg Zipadelli as the team’s new competition director. Zipadelli has been a part of the NASCAR community for over 20 years and brings a wealth of experience to the role. He will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of the team’s performance on the track, including race strategy and engineering.
SHR also announced that Matt Borland will be joining the team as its new crew chief. Borland has been a part of NASCAR for over 15 years and has previously served as a crew chief for several teams, including Roush Fenway Racing and Joe Gibbs Racing. He will be responsible for leading the team’s race strategy and engineering efforts.
The changes come as SHR looks to improve their performance on the track and build a championship-caliber team. With the addition of Bugarewicz, Zipadelli, and Borland to the team’s lineup, SHR is confident that they have the personnel in place to achieve their goals.
The changes are a major step forward for SHR as they look to compete for championships in NASCAR’s premier series. With a strong lineup of personnel in place, SHR is poised to make a run at the title in the upcoming season.
