Richard Boswell: From Racer to NASCAR Crew Chief – A Journey of Speed and Strategy

Richard Boswell II, born on April 14, 1984, is an American who used to be a race car driver. Now, he’s known as a crew chief in the world of NASCAR racing. A crew chief is like the main coach for a race car team, making important decisions during the race.

Richard works for a team called Stewart-Haas Racing. Currently, he’s the crew chief for their No. 14 car, which is a Ford Mustang. A talented driver named Chase Briscoe drives this car in the top-level NASCAR Cup Series.

Before working with the No. 14 car, Richard was the crew chief for another car, the No. 98, in a different series called the Xfinity Series. Two drivers, Chase Briscoe and Riley Herbst, used to drive that car under Richard’s guidance.

What’s interesting is that Richard wasn’t always just a crew chief. Back in 2009, he himself raced in the Xfinity Series for one race. He drove for a team named JR Motorsports. It’s cool to think that he knows how it feels to be both behind the wheel and making decisions for the team!

Richard Boswell’s Racing Journey

Driving career

Richard Boswell is not just any racer; he’s the son of the famous NASCAR driver Dickie Boswell. He once replaced another racer, Shane Huffman, in a race called the USAR Hooters Pro Cup. Richard has some winning titles too! In 1998, he won two big karting championships. One of them was even at the famous Lowe’s Motor Speedway. He also raced at a place called Old Dominion Speedway in Virginia.

The biggest moment for Richard as a driver was when he raced in the Nationwide Series (now called Xfinity). He got a chance to race for JR Motorsports at Memphis. This was a big deal! Richard did well and started the race in third place, but he finished in 23rd. Even though he raced well, that was the only time he drove in a NASCAR race. He never raced again for JR Motorsports or any other team in that series.

Crew chiefing career

In 2017, Richard changed his role and became a ‘crew chief’ for Stewart-Haas Racing. A crew chief is like a coach for the team. He was in charge of a part-time car, the No. 41, which Kevin Harvick drove a few times. Richard even filled in as the main crew chief for a big race in Texas once.

The next year, there were some changes. Stewart-Haas Racing joined forces with another racing team, Biagi Brothers Racing. They had a car, the No. 98, which Richard took over. He helped this team win two races that year! One with Harvick and one with a young driver named Chase Briscoe.

Richard continued to lead the No. 98 team, especially when Briscoe was driving. But, there was a bump in the road in 2020. After a race, Richard and two team members got suspended because a piece of the car fell off during the race. They missed four races, and another person took over for them. 

Briscoe did really well in 2020 and moved up to a big series, replacing a driver named Clint Bowyer. But Richard stayed with the No. 98 team. In 2023, there was a big announcement: Richard would join Briscoe again, but this time as the crew chief for the No. 14 car in a big racing series. He took over for someone else who was suspended and would later move to a different job. It’s exciting to see Richard team up with Briscoe again!

Personal life

Richard Boswell lives in a place called Mooresville, which is in North Carolina. If you’ve heard the name Brady Boswell and think they might be family because they share the same last name, you’d be surprised! Even though Richard and Brady both have the last name “Boswell,” they are not related at all. Brady is also a driver, but they’re just two people with the same surname, nothing more. It’s interesting how two people can share a name but not be part of the same family!
