Chris Heroy moving to RPM #9 team

Chris Heroy, who in 2015 served as the crew chief of the Chip Ganassi Racing #42 Chevrolet SS in the Sprint Cup Series driven by Kyle Larson, will move to the #9 Ford Fusion at Richard Petty Motorsports to serve as the crew chief of 2016 Rookie of the Year contender Brian Scott. Sam Hornish Jr., also a driver at Joe Gibbs Racing and Team Penske in recent seasons, left the Petty stable after driving the #9 car for the full 2015 season. Marcos Ambrose and, in various iterations, Kasey Kahne are also former drivers of the car. Heroy and Larson almost made it to Cup victory lane a few times in 2015.
