RCR Enterprises, LLC, announced the leadership appointments for three of its entities, ECR Engines, RCR Manufacturing, and CT Springs, on Monday morning. All three entities now have a business president.
Bob Fisher was named president of ECR Engines, Mike Brown will lead RCR Manufacturing Solutions, and Jim Suth will head up Childress Technologies Spring Company. According to a press release, all three presidents will report to RCR Enterprises president Mike Verlander and RCR Enterprises chairman and CEO Richard Childress.
Additionally, Matt Wiles has been named Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of ECR Engines.
RCR believes Monday’s appointments will help the overall company achieve additional growth and stability going forward.
“RCR Enterprises is positioned for growth with the appointments of three strong business presidents in Bob Fisher, Mike Brown, and Jim Suth,” said RCR president Mike Verlander. “Beyond RCR’s legendary status as a championship-winning race team, Richard Childress has quietly expanded operations into becoming one of the top employers in Davidson County, North Carolina. Having strong, business-savvy presidents leading key areas of RCR Enterprises’ operations sets us up for long-term stability and continued progression.”
ECR Engines, one of the big players in NASCAR as far as engine builders go, gains from the 30-plus years of experience Fisher, who has been with ECR since the company was founded, has in the combustion engine field. Wiles has been with ECR since 2014, and along with Fisher, will play a key role in the continued growth of ECR Engines.
RCR says Brown, who has more than 30 years of experience in the motorsports field, and his team at RCR Manufacturing, will develop and implement business strategies and opportunities for RCR’s manufacturing business, including development of the company’s precision machining business, specifically as it relates to RCR’s Okuma Technology Center capabilities, focus on military applications, along with RCR’s engineering services and manufacturing group.
CT Springs are used in Richard Childress Racing and Hendrick Motorsports NASCAR engines, and General Motors engines in IMSA and other forms of road racing, as well as various grassroots sprint car, late model, and modified engines. Suth will oversee the production of high-performance valve springs at CT Springs.
