Richard Childress Racing recently made a significant announcement that has left fans and the racing community buzzing. Sheldon Creed, a promising driver who has been a part of RCR’s Xfinity Series lineup, will not be returning for the 2024 season. The organization broke the news through a succinct social media statement.

Creed, in his second year with RCR, is currently in the hunt for the 2023 Xfinity title. His dedication and performance have been undeniable.
