Roush Fenway Racing shift crew chief roster

Team sources confirmed to Motorsport.com that veteran Bob Osborne will oversee Chris Buescher’s development during his Sprint Cup rookie season at Front Row Motorsports, piloting the No. 34. Osborne, 41, enjoyed tremendous success with Carl Edwards. Together the pair posted 18 wins, 86 top-fives and 142 top-10 finishes and nearly won the 2011 Sprint Cup Championship.

Buescher, the current Xfinity Series champion, was expected to make the move to Cup with another crew chief.

Matt Puccia, 38, will direct Bayne’s effort and the No. 6 team.
