Owner: Richard Childress

 

Richard Childress Racing (www.rcrracing.com) has earned nearly 190 victories including six championships, including size in the Sprint Cup Series with the legendary Dale Earnhardt. RCR was the first organization to win championships in the Sprig Cup Series, Nationwide Series and Camping World Truck Series.

Childress’ accomplishments have branched out beyond racing. Childress Vineyards, established in 2003, is an award-winning winery located on 65 acres in the Yadkin Valley appellation just south of the RCR complex in Lexington, N.C. In July 2008, the Childress family teamed up with Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center to form the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma in Winston-Salem, N.C. The Institute focuses to help key areas in treatment, education and training, research and prevention of pediatric trauma. The Institute’s goal is to help pave the way for others in the nation searching for ways to help save the lives of severely injured children and help those who survive on the road to recovery.

Its 2011 Sprint Cup Series lineup includes Jeff (No. 31 Caterpillar), Kevin Harvick (No. 29 Budweiser), Clint Bowyer (No. 33 Cheerios/Hamburger Helper) and Paul Menard (Menards). Austin Dillon (No. 3 Bass Pro Shops) and Joey Coulter (No. 22) will compete in the Camping World Truck Series while Ty Dillon (No. 41) and Tim George, Jr. (No. 31) will compete in ARCA.
