Richard Childress Racing in the NASCAR Cup Series at New Hampshire Motor Speedway… In 140 NASCAR Cup Series starts at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Richard Childress Racing has recorded four victories. Clint Bowyer earned the organization’s most recent win at the 1.058-mile oval in 2010 after capturing his first career Cup Series victory there in 2007. Kevin Harvick drove from the pole to Victory Lane in 2006, pacing the field for a race-high 196 laps. Robby Gordon gave RCR its first New Hampshire win in the 2001 season finale, which also marked the first Cup Series victory of his career.

The people who helped build RCR’s past are now helping lead its future… Chad Haney and Andy Street are great examples of what long-term commitment and talent development at Richard Childress Racing can produce. Both were part of Clint Bowyer’s No. 33 Cheerios/Hamburger Helper Chevrolet team that bested Tony Stewart in a fuel-mileage showdown to win at New Hampshire in 2010. Nearly 16 years later, both have risen through the RCR ranks to become successful crew chiefs. Their journeys reflect RCR’s ability to develop talent and give dedicated employees opportunities to grow into leadership roles.

AUSTIN DILLON QUOTES:
What are your thoughts leading into New Hampshire Motor Speedway?
“I’m looking forward to New Hampshire Motor Speedway. I think our short track program has been a little bit better this year so it should be a good race for the BREZTRI AEROSPHERE® team. The place is rough. You’ve really got to make your car work over the bumps. It’s a flat track. There are hard braking zones and deep entry into the corners. It’s a fun track to go race at.”
Does the track feel like it changes from year-to-year at all, with the harsh winters up in New England wearing on the track?
“I don’t know. I think New Hampshire has just always been New Hampshire. It’s a rough track. There’s a lot of character to it in Turns 3 and 4, and big bumps that you have to go across in Turns 1 and 2. It’s a paperclip. It’s just a slick, old racetrack. It’s really cool. It’s lost a lot of grip over the years, but it seems like the tires really adhere to it for a couple of laps.”
If you were coming to New Hampshire Motor Speedway this August as a race fan and not a driver, what are the top-three things you would want to experience and why?
“New Hampshire is beautiful, especially in the fall. The leaves are changing colors, and it’s just a beautiful time of year to experience the outdoors, and nature. The race is obviously fun. It’s like a short track and an intermediate track all at the same time. It’s a flat, weird track, and you just need to come experience it in person.”
