MEET THE PROFESSIONAL HAULERS

 

Every race weekend depends on more than what happens on the track. Behind every RCR race car is a professional hauler team responsible for moving the cars, tools, technology and equipment that make race day possible.

 

The RCR hauler team operates Mack Anthem race haulers across the NASCAR circuit, helping ensure the team arrives prepared, organized and ready to compete. These professional drivers bring the same qualities Mack customers rely on every day: precision, dependability, pride and the ability to perform when it matters most.

Jeff Craven
Role: RCR Professional Hauler
Years in Racing/Trucking: 35

 

Bio: A North Carolina native, Craven has been around racing for most of his life. He’s worked for numerous NASCAR teams during his 35-year career in motorsports, including Petty Enterprises, where he served as both a mechanic and pit crew member. He later worked as a truck driver mechanic for Hendrick Motorsports before joining Bill Davis Racing as a mechanic. Craven then brought his expertise to Richard Childress Racing, starting as a mechanic before becoming the hauler driver of the No. 3 team.
Today, Craven plays an important role in RCR’s race operations, overseeing the transportation of race cars and equipment totaling as much as 80,000 pounds. His responsibilities take him across the country, logging more than 65,000 miles during the grueling 36-race NASCAR season. In addition to transporting the team’s assets, he manages the loading and unloading of race cars and equipment at every event, helping ensure the team is prepared to compete each race weekend.

Quote: “Being a hauler driver is a very important job because I bring everything the team needs here at RCR to succeed over the course of the season. I have to make sure everything is there, including food, medicine, parts, pieces and whatever it takes to make a successful race weekend happen. And for me, driving a Mack means knowing I've got a truck I can trust to safely move tons of equipment from one track to the next, so that RCR can stay focused on what they do best and succeed."

Mike Ursey
Role: RCR Professional Hauler
Years in Racing/Trucking: 7

 

Bio: Ursey has spent 31 years on the road driving trucks professionally and is currently in his second season working for Richard Childress Racing. His years of experience on the road have helped him succeed in his current job of driving the hauler for the No. 33 RCR team. Ursey is responsible for safely transporting race cars and equipment totaling as much as 80,000 pounds to each race on the 36-race NASCAR Cup Series schedule. In addition to transporting the team’s assets, he manages the loading and unloading of race cars and equipment at every event, helping ensure the team is prepared to compete each race weekend.

 

Quote: "During my two years at RCR, one of the biggest things I've learned is that nobody does this job alone. From the people loading the hauler to the crew waiting at the track, everyone's counting on each other. It's a lot of responsibility we carry on our shoulders; we’re always the first ones to arrive at the track and the last ones to leave. Having a Mack truck underneath gives me the confidence to focus on the road and the job ahead."
