Starting immediately, Bootie Barker will be taking over crew chief duties for Bubba Wallace. Mike Wheeler, Wallace’s previous crew chief is being promoted to director of competition at 23XI.
Fantasy Spin: I think this is a neutral move and things will largely remain the same from a competitive standpoint for the #23.
23XI prez Lauletta: "As we finish out the 2021 season, this move allows Wheels to focus on our overall vision for 23XI and allow Bootie to help Bubba and the No. 23 team finish strong over the final eight races.”
