On Monday morning, [autotag]JR Motorsports[/autotag] announced some big changes to its NASCAR Xfinity Series teams for the 2024 season. Adam Wall will serve as the crew chief for Sammy Smith and the No. 8 team, while Phillip Bell will do the same for Brandon Jones and the No. 9 team. Mardy Lindley will return to Sam Mayer, while Jim Pohlman will do the same for Justin Allgier.
Wall has been the lead engineer for Kyle Larson and the No. 5 team in the NASCAR Cup Series. This comes as Josh Berry moves to the No. 4 Cup car for Stewart-Haas Racing following Kevin Harvick’s retirement. As for Berry’s crew chief Taylor Moyer, he is not a part of the crew chief lineup, and his future is currently unclear.
Bell replaces Jason Burdett, who left JR Motorsports to become the crew chief for Jimmie Johnson at Legacy Motor Club. Bell served as the lead engineer for Noah Gragson at JR Motorsports and Legacy Motor Club. Overall, Mayer and Allgaier made the Championship 4, so it is smart not to switch it up. Meanwhile, Smith and Jones will have a fresh start in 2024.
