Baldwin Replaces Finley On No. 36 Team
Bill Davis Racing (BDR) announced today that Tommy Baldwin Jr. has assumed the role of interim crew chief for the No. 36 360 OTC Racing team and driver Jeremy Mayfield. Baldwin takes over those duties from Derrick Finley, who will remain with the team in an engineering capacity.
“We’re fortunate to have someone like Tommy, with his record as a crew chief and his abilities as a team leader, available within our organization in situations like these,” stated team owner Bill Davis. “Derrick Finley has been an integral part of the Bill Davis Racing family for several years and will remain with us serving in a different role. Obviously, the 360 OTC Racing team has struggled in the early stages of the season and we felt it would be in the best interest of the team and our sponsors to make the change.”
During this time, Baldwin’s main priority will continue to be serving as Competition Director for all of Bill Davis Racing’s NASCAR NEXTEL Cup teams and assuring BDR’s growth as an organization. Baldwin will act as crew chief for the No. 36 team only until a suitable replacement is found.
