Sheldon Creed will not return to Richard Childress Racing in 2024, RCR announced Oct. 11.
Creed currently drives the team’s No. 2 in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
“We will make an announcement regarding the driver of the No. 2 Whelen Chevrolet in the near future,” a spokesperson noted in the release.
Creed is currently in the hunt for the 2023 Xfinity title. In his second season with RCR, he has five top fives and 13 top 10s.
Creed has not yet commented on the news.
Austin Hill was previously announced to be returning to the RCR Xfinity program for 2024, driving the No. 21.
Kevin Rutherford is the executive editor of Frontstretch, a position he gained in 2025 after being the managing editor since 2015, and serving on the editing staff since 2013.
At his day job, he's a journalist covering music and rock charts at Billboard. He lives in New York City, but his heart is in Ohio -- you know, like that Hawthorne Heights song.
“Gramps? Hi! It’s Ty. Got a minute?”
It’s Pop-Pop.
World Mental Health Day has passed. Best to keep the sharps drawer locked just in case.
So to my mind with Sheldon creed out of rcr for next season I think he would be with another race team like Joe Gibbs racing or kaulig racing’s xfinity or cup series program and with Ty Dillon out of the 77 car for spire Motorsports and the cup series as well too and I think that Ty Dillon will probably go back into the xfinity series for his grandfather’s race team and maybe be the new driver of the 2 car for next year’s season.
He should be racing in the ARCA Series at best. Ty Dillion that is.
Gotta have a seat for Ty Dillon. Carson Hocevar replacing him at Spire #77
Maybe a seat in the garage.
I gave your comment a thumbs up — not because I agree with making a change in drivers, but rather, because I agree with the possibility of needing a car for the grandson. Sheldon is in the hunt for the championship — what’s the likelihood that Ty would be in the same position next year.?
