Childers Brings Cup-Level Success to JR Motorsports

It's April 4th. Welcome in. This is F1 News Today, where your team meets AI. I'm Cori with the story.

Rodney Childers, the 2014 NASCAR Cup Series champion crew chief, is now leading the number 1 car at JR Motorsports for drivers.

Carson Kovable and Conner Zylish. He's the first in and last out every day, bringing his 40-cub wins worth of experience to the

expinity level after leaving Spire Motorsports last year. Childers aim to boost the entire organization, not just one car, with small details that add a big.

And it's working. JR Motorsports has racked up five straight wins across the team, putting smiles on owners, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kelly's faces.

teammate Justin Algaer, who's leading the championship with three victories, says Childers brings cup level processes, data, and that never settle.

Mentality everyone needed. Algaer, now also racing in cup for Hendrick, while Alex Bowman heals, credits Childers for raising the bar for crew chiefs like Andrew Overstreet and the whole shop.

Cavepill, a two-time cars tour champ chasing his first win here, loves it too. Cars are qualifying on the front row and battling for top three finishes.

He calls Childers, a top leader, who motivates without overload, helping him avoid overthinking our restarts like at Phoenix.

Childers feels right at home, comparing some race weeks to old school cup battles, and digs Kovable's drive that mirrors his own.

With speed in the stable, they're prime for that breakthrough win any weekend now.
