Pearn will serve his suspension at PIR |
Furniture
Row Racing crew chief Cole Pearn will serve his one-race suspension this
weekend at Phoenix International Raceway.
Subbing
for Pearn on race day in Phoenix will be former Furniture Row Racing crew chief
Todd Berrier, who is now the director of fabrication at Joe Gibbs Racing.
Berrier will call the race strategy on top the pit box for Martin Truex Jr.’s
No. 78 Bass Pro Shops/TRACKER Boats Toyota.
“Being
able to secure the services of Todd for Phoenix was an incredible and selfless
gesture by Joe Gibbs Racing,” said Garone. “We are very proud to have a technical
alliance with Joe Gibbs Racing and are deeply grateful for its quick response
to offer assistance. I also want to thank Todd. He has plenty on his plate and
to go the extra mile to help us out is appreciated by everyone at Furniture Row
Racing.”
Berrier
and Pearn have had a longstanding relationship as co-workers. Berrier was the
crew chief at FRR from July 2012 through the 2014 season, with Pearn serving as
the team’s lead race engineer. Berrier and Pearn also worked together at
Richard Childress Racing and JTG Daugherty Racing.
"I
don't see this being any more than a seamless transition, with Todd taking over
the crew chief role for one race," said Garone. "Todd knows our
system very well. He has worked with Martin, Cole, the majority of our crew and
Toyota.”
