Richard Petty Motorsports released longtime pit crew coach Gary Smith effective Monday.
We have not heard what the future plans are for RPM’s athletic department nor have we heard of another coach replacing Smith. (UPDATE on 4/26: RPM hired Robb Rogers as Smith’s replacement. Rogers has been a professional coach since 1980 and a national lecturer since 1985.)
Coach Smith has been around pit road for many years and is very knowledgeable about pit stops.
