Mike Kelley, who spent the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series as the crew chief for Matt Tifft for 20 races and David Ragan for the final 16 races, will not return to Front Row Motorsports for the 2020 season.
Kelley broke the news via a post on his twitter account.
17 years, 3 championships, 30 wins, 100s of friends and millions of great memories. Thank you to @roushfenway for everything you have done for myself. Good luck to you, and on to what’s next!
