Concord, North Carolina-based Rev Racing will appoint Matthew Bucher as its new the director of competition. Bucher replaces his predecessor Jefferson Hodges, who has served as the teams general manager and director of competition under the direction of Owner Max Siegel for the last nine years. Hodges will become the NASCAR team manager for Team Penske mid-January.
Rev Racing remains the competition arm of NASCAR’s Drive for Diversity Program and serves as the NASCAR-supported race team charged with developing female and minority drivers and pit crew members for future competition at NASCAR’s highest levels. The program not only focuses on its crew members and drivers, but also prepares and trains its leaders for growth in the industry.
Bucher has been a Rev Racing employee since 2014, successfully serving as crew chief for some of top performing cars over the years. One of his biggest accomplishments was the season finale win with rookie driver Collin Cabre at Dover International Raceway (DE).
“Working alongside the crew and leadership team over the last several years, I have never felt more ready to continue the successful culture we’ve established. I really appreciate the fact that leadership has put its faith in me leading the effort,” Bucher said. “Jefferson [Hodges] has been instrumental in the growth and stability of this organization and I wish him nothing but success in his new role within the sport.”
With Hodges departure, long-time Rev Racing employees Phil Horton, director of Athletic Performance and Mark Green, director of Driver Development, will also assume expanded responsibilities in the organization.
The NASCAR K&N Pro Series East season opener is set for February 10 at New Symrna Speedway (FL). Rev Racing will field two cars the 175 lap race with drivers, Chase Cabre and Ruben Garcia Jr.
