Former Joe Gibbs Racing tire changer Nick Odell has signed a deal with Hendrick Motorsports that will make him a member of the No. 24 pit crew, the team confirmed.
Odell drew interest from several teams after he was released by JGR last week. He was a longtime front tire changer for the No. 18 Toyota driven by Kyle Busch.
Scott Brzozowski was the front tire changer for the No. 24 team. He came to Hendrick Motorsports after working with the No. 39 crew of Ryan Newman at Stewart-Haas Racing. Brzozowski will move from the No. 24 team to the No. 88 team of Dale Earnhardt Jr. as its starting front tire changer.
Brzozowski will replace David Mayo, who will return to a backup role. The roster moves are in effect starting at Dover. It’s the second tweak to Earnhardt’s pit crew in the past month.
The changes to the No. 18 team last week came after changes to several teams in Chase contention, including the No. 88 pit crew, the No. 2 crew for Brad Keselowski‘s Ford and the No. 78 group that services Martin Truex Jr.’s Chevrolet.
