Robby Gordon Motorsports announced Doug Richert as the crew chief of the No. 7 Camry for the remainder of the 2009 season.
Richert, a NASCAR veteran with more than 25 years of experience and 15 Cup wins, will assume the crew chief responsibilities starting at Martinsville this weekend.
"Doug brings experience and knowledge to our team, which I hope will help elevate our Cup performance. He has spotted for us since early June, but we are happy to have Doug come on board as crew chief this weekend. He will fill this role for the final five races, and we will see where it goes from there," commented Robby Gordon.
"I am really looking forward to this opportunity. Even though I have helped Robby and the No. 7 team as a spotter, I haven't been associated directly with a team since last May. This opportunity will allow me to be more hands-on in the decisions of the No. 7, which I hope will directly improve the team's performance. I am looking forward to the rest of the year and continuing to push forward," commented Doug Richert.
