Eric Wilson stepped down as head coach of Richard Childress Racing's pit crews, effective immediately, PitTalks.com has learned. Wilson took over the coaching job three years ago, replacing Matt Clark.
Wilson's plans are unclear at this time, but what is clear is Ray Wright will be the new coach. Wright has been the strength-and-conditioning coach for the past seven years.
Wright was also the rear tire carrier for the No. 27 Chevrolet SS of Paul Menard. Taking his place over the wall will be Adam Mestemacher.
As far as the strength-conditioning role, Tyler Rader will likely take over the void for the foreseeable future. Rader also fuels the No. 3 Chevrolet SS of Austin Dillon for NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races.
RCR officials declined comment.
