Richard Childress Racing (RCR) is an American professional stock car racing team that currently competes in the NASCAR Cup Series and the NASCAR Xfinity Series. The team is based in Welcome, North Carolina, and is owned and operated by Richard Childress.
In the Cup Series, the team currently fields three Chevrolet Camaro ZL1s: the No. 3 full-time for Austin Dillon, the No. 8 full-time for Kyle Busch, as well as the No. 33 part-time for multiple drivers. In the Xfinity Series, the team currently fields four Chevrolet Camaro teams: the No. 2 full-time for Jesse Love, the No. 3 part time for Austin Dillon, the No. 21 full-time for Austin Hill, and the No. 33 part-time for Kasey Kahne. RCR has had at least one car successfully qualify for every Cup race since 1972, the longest such active streak, and is known for the longstanding use of the number 3 on its primary race car.
In addition to its in-house Cup Series teams, RCR has several technical alliances and partnerships with other teams. In the Cup Series, it is allied with Kaulig Racing, while Big Machine Racing and Jordan Anderson Racing have a technical alliance with the team in the Xfinity Series, with Kaulig Racing and Big Machine Racing both having shops on the RCR campus in Welcome, North Carolina. Beyond this, RCR also has collaborative agreements with Beard Motorsports, although these are not technical alliances.
RCR has won the NASCAR Cup Series championship six times, all with driver Dale Earnhardt, as well as the Daytona 500 three times; Earnhardt in 1998, Kevin Harvick in 2007, and Austin Dillon in 2018. The team has also fielded cars for notables such as Jeff Burton, Mike Skinner, Ricky Rudd, Neil Bonnett, Ryan Newman, and Clint Bowyer.
