# Richert named #83 Red Bull Crew Chief: At the ripe age of 20, Brian Vickers became the youngest-ever NASCAR title holder in winning the 2003 Busch Series driver’s championship. Likewise at 20, Doug Richert became the youngest crew chief to win NASCAR’s elite Cup Series championship back in 1980, the first of Dale Earnhardt’s seven titles. As of today, Brian and Doug now have something else in common. Together they’ll make up the driver-crew chief tandem for Team Red Bull’s #83 Camry entry in the 2007 Nextel Cup Series. QUOTES: DOUG RICHERT – #83 Crew Chief “The Cup series has gotten so much more competitive these days. Starting from scratch is no easy task, but once the team gets some chemistry and momentum going, we’ll hopefully be able to do some exciting things.” BRIAN VICKERS – #83 Driver “Doug has worked with practically a Who’s Who list of drivers in this sport and he knows what it takes to be consistently successful at this level. What an awesome feeling to know he’s in my garage now.”
 
I think Roush really screwed up letting Doug go. How do you let a crew chief go that won 2 races this year? I don't get it. :eek:
 
There's got to be more to the story at Roush. All this movement of CC and drivers is just not normal.

Something is going on.

I dont think so , Richert has been doing this for over 25 years now and I think he is just looking to cash a few of those fat Toyota cheques before he comes off the road.

I agree. I still don't understand why he is letting O'Quinn go. Repeat of the Jeff Burton deal.

Danny O’Quinn, Jr., the 2006 Raybestos Rookie of The Year winner, said Tuesday that Roush Racing has informed him that he is now available to talk to other teams regarding driving opportunities for the 2007 season. O’Quinn said he is still very much a part of the Roush organization but a lack of sponsorship has forced the team to allow O’Quinn to look at other options.
