MOORESVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Red Bull Racing has swapped the crew chiefs and key team members for drivers Scott Speed and Casey Mears.
The swap comes two days after Mears and Speed finished 29th and 30th in the Coca-Cola 600.
Ryan Pemberton will begin working with Speed this weekend at Pocono. Jimmy Elledge will take over Mears’ team.
Pemberton has been crew chief for the No. 83 team since the start of last season. Driver Brian Vickers recently announced he will miss the remainder of the season while undergoing treatment on blood clots in his lungs and legs, and Mears has replaced him.
Elledge joined Red Bull in 2008 after five years with Chip Ganassi Racing. He was crew chief for Mears during their time at Ganassi.
