Kaulig Racing has confirmed some major competition leadership changes, and its crew chief lineup, for the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series campaign.

Mike Cook, who has spent the last decade working as a lead engineer at Stewart-Haas Racing for drivers Aric Almirola, Kurt Busch, and Chase Briscoe, has been named Technical Director of Kaulig Racing.

“After a decade of learning and honing my craft, I am really excited to contribute to the continuing growth of Kaulig Racing,” said Cook, winner of the 2017 Daytona 500.  “Nothing in racing happens overnight, but I know I have the tools and the support I need to bring immediate impact.”

Andrew Dickeson will be returning to Kaulig Racing in 2025, after serving as crew chief for the organization in six of the final eight NASCAR Cup Series events of 2024.

Dickeston will be paired with Ty Dillon and the No. 10 Chevrolet. The Australian native brings a wealth of engineering experience to the team, and most recently worked for Kaulig’s alliance partner Richard Childress Racing.

Trent Owens, a veteran NASCAR crew chief who has been with Kaulig Racing since the team upgraded its NASCAR Cup Series effort to full-time in 2022, will be reunited with AJ Allmendinger.

The Davidson, North Carolina-native has more than two decades of experience in NASCAR, capturing victories in the NASCAR Cup Series (one), NASCAR Xfinity Series (five), and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (one).

“Andrew has the demeanor and stability that I think will give Ty the best opportunity he has ever had at the Cup level,” continued Cook. “AJ and Trent are just in sync and have a great working relationship. Both drivers are hungry and dedicated, so I know that team is going to be strong and impress some people in 2025.”

“I think this is the most impressive competition leadership group we have ever had,” said Kaulig Racing President Chris Rice.  “We have such a great core team with all the men and women of Kaulig Racing, and bringing in smart people with fresh eyes will really help us compete on the track.”

The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series campaign will get underway at Bowman Gray Stadium with The Clash on February 2, 2025. Coverage will be on FOX at 8:00 PM ET.
