RAB Racing officials say that Brad Parrott has been hired as crew chief of the team's No. 09 entry with driver John Wes Townley in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, effective immediately.

Parrott has 20-plus years of experience in the NASCAR industry, working with Penske Racing, Robert Yates Racing, Roush Fenway Racing and most recently Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates.

“Being a Raybestos rookie-of-the-year contender in the Nationwide Series, I am thrilled with the opportunity to work with Brad and tap into his wealth of knowledge,” Townley said. “His extensive experience in this sport is going to be a tremendous asset to both myself and RAB Racing.”

Prior to being a crew chief, Parrott served as car chief to Dale Jarrett in the No. 88 Ford at Robert Yates Racing from 1996 to 2001. The team earned 23 victories (including two Daytona 500 and two Brickyard 400 wins) and the 1999 NASCAR Cup championship.

Parrott took on the role of crew chief in 2002 working with Jeff Burton in what is now the Nationwide Series at Roush Fenway. In 2003, Parrott went back to RYR to work as crew chief for Jarrett, winning his first NASCAR Cup race as crew chief in his second start at North Carolina Speedway.

Parrott has 18 career victories as a crew chief in the Nationwide Series.
