Richard Childress Racing
Richard Childress, who earned 76 top-10 finishes during his 12-year career in the NASCAR Cup Series before a 2017 induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame, founded Richard Childress Racing in 1969. It has since become one of the most successful racing teams in the industry and currently competes in the NASCAR Cup Series and the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
Throughout its history, Richard Childress Racing has earned 16 championships and over 200 victories across the top three NASCAR series, featuring notable drivers such as Clint Bowyer, Jeff Burton, Dale Earnhardt, Mike Skinner, and plenty more.
With two teams in the Cup Series, Richard Childress Racing has two full-time drivers: Austin Dillon in the No. 3 Chevrolet and Tyler Reddick in the No. 8 Chevrolet. The organization also features three Xfinity Series teams with Sheldon Creed (full-time in the No. 2), Jeffrey Earnhardt (part-time in the No. 3), and Austin Hill (full-time in the No. 21) behind the wheel.
Richard Childress Racing enjoys the longest active streak in the sport by having at least one car qualify for every Cup Series race since 1972.
Sheldon Creed has been working his way up the NASCAR ranks, and Richard Childress Racing will put him in an Xfinity Series car in 2022.
Austin Dillon crashed hard after crossing the start-finish line in Stage 2 at Michigan. Team owner Richard Childress didn't mince words in directing his anger at Brad Keselowski.
When Clint Bowyer received a life-changing call from Richard Childress in 2004, he almost hung up because he thought it was a big prank.
