STATESVILLE, N.C. — CR7 Motorsports announced Monday that Jeff Stankiewicz will no longer serve as crew chief of the No. 9 Champion Power Equipment Chevrolet Silverado, driven by Grant Enfinger.
Veteran crew chief Michael Shelton will assume interim duties beginning with this weekend’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at New Hampshire Motor SpeedwayH.
“Jeff has played an essential role in our growth and success,” said CR7 Motorsports team owner, Codie Rohrbaugh. “His leadership and dedication helped position our team to win races and contend for championships. We are grateful for everything he has contributed to CR7 Motorsports, and wish him the very best moving forward.”
Shelton, a Truck Series championship-winning crew chief, brings a wealth of experience to the pit box. The Alabama native, and current CR7 Motorsports General Manager, has guided teams, and drivers to success across multiple seasons, including seven wins and a Championship as a crew chief on his resume.
“Jeff and I have shared a lot of success together,” said Grant Enfinger, driver of the No. 9 CR7 Motorsports entry. “His knowledge, preparation, and commitment were big strengths for our team. I’ll always be appreciative of the effort he put into helping us compete at a high level.”
The team remains focused on keeping the No. 9 in playoff contention, with Loudon serving as a critical opportunity to secure valuable points.
Further details regarding a permanent crew chief for the No. 9 CR7 Motorsports entry will be made at a later date.
