DARLINGTON, S.C. — Despite four consecutive top-10 finishes, including a win two weeks ago, Kyle Larson will have a nearly new pit crew at Darlington Raceway this weekend.
Jafar Hall replaces Blaine Anderson as front tire changer. Mike Moss replaces Calvin Teague as rear tire changer. Allen Stallings replaces RJ Barnette as tire carrier. Eric Ludwig replaces Brandon Johnson as jackman.
Teague and Barnette were both on Larson’s pit crew when he won the 2021 championship.
Only fueler Brandon Harder remains the same for the No. 5 team from last week’s race at Martinsville.
Hall and Ludwig were with Larson’s team at Phoenix and Las Vegas when Anderson and Johnson served NASCAR-mandated two-race suspensions for a tire coming off the No. 5 car on the course at COTA.
Hall and Ludwig have been with Justin Haley’s team in the other races this season. Moss and Stallings have been with Haley’s team all season. Hendrick Motorsports supplies pit crews to Spire Motorsports.
