Richard Childress Racing Replaces Kyle Busch Crew Chief with Andy Street Starting Charlotte

Richard Childress Racing (RCR) has appointed Andy Street as Kyle Busch's new crew chief for the final five races of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, starting at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval. This change follows Randall Burnett's announced move to Trackhouse Racing to crew chief for rookie Connor Zilisch in 2026, though Burnett will remain with RCR in a support role through the end of the season. Andy Street, who has crew chief experience with RCR's No. 33 team and notable success in the Xfinity Series, is tasked with helping Busch recover from a slump, as Busch has not won a Cup race since June 2023 and currently ranks 21st to 22nd in the standings. The change comes amid a downturn in Busch's recent performance, with qualifying and race results declining significantly in 2024 and 2025. Former teammate Denny Hamlin expressed belief in Busch's ability to win races again despite recent struggles, emphasizing the need for a change for both Busch and Burnett. RCR has indicated that further announcements about future competition roles will be made later.
