RCR has high hopes for new hire

Richard Childress Racing has hired Dr. Eric Warren as its new director of competition in hopes to find some speed again.

Warren will be replacing Kent Day, who served in an interim role after Scott Miller left the company last September for Michael Waltrip Racing. Ever since Miller left the organization all three Cup teams have struggled dearly.

Richard Childress Racing has yet to find victory lane this season on the Cup side and barring a miracle, they will finish out the year winless. Out of the three Cup teams, Kevin Harvick was the sole RCR driver to qualify for the Chase, and with five races remaining he's realistically no chance of winning the title.

Warren started at RCR on Monday.
