Travis Mack, who joined Kaulig Racing this season after three years with Trackhouse Racing, has been removed from the crew chief position of the team’s No. 16 NASCAR Cup Series Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 effective immediately, according to a statement from the team.

Darian Grubb, a 24-time NASCAR Cup Series race-winning crew chief, and former series champion, will call the shots from atop the pit box for the No. 16 team and driver Shane van Gisbergen this weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the South Point 400.

“Travis Mack will no longer serve as crew chief for the No. 16 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet, effective immediately,” the statement explained. “We appreciate the commitment Travis made to the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season and wish him well in the future. Darian Grubb will serve as the No. 16 crew chief this weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with driver Shane van Gisbergen. More announcements regarding the position will be made in the near future.”

Mack, with a rotating cast of characters behind the wheel this season, has struggled to find consistency with the No. 16 entry this season. The No. 16 car has just one top-five finish and four top-10s through 32 races so far this year.

Heading into this weekend’s race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the No. 16 team is ranked 30th in the NASCAR Cup Series Owner Standings.

With Grubb, an established veteran voice in the industry on the box, the team will look to build momentum for next season. The team has not made any announcements regarding the crew chief of the entry for the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season just yet.
