Bruce Schlicker
Crew Chief: No. 10
- Hometown
- Clarksburg, WV
Bruce Schlicker started his racing career by helping an ARCA Series truck driver from his hometown in West Virginia, while he was finishing college. Schlicker earned his masters and undergrad degree in Mechanical Engineering from West Virginia University. Unlike most in the industry, Schlicker did not have a direct tie to racing as a kid, his family was in the construction business and he played baseball and football as a kid through high school.
Schlicker’s first job out of college was when he moved to North Carolina and worked in the fab shop for Fitz Motorsports in 2007. To date, Schlickers favorite memory in racing was when Brendan Gaughn won at Road America, it was Gaughn’s first win. His first win was in the Truck Series for Richard Childress Racing and Ty Dillon at Atlanta.
When Schlicker is not working at Kaulig Racing or at the race track, he enjoys doing projects around his house, as well as, spending time with his three kids.

Jaron Antley
Car Chief: No. 10

At 10-years-old, Jaron Antley was introduced to racing by helping his uncle at his local dirt track; that was the beginning of his racing future. Antley graduated from the NASCAR Technical Institute in 2010 and quickly began his career with the ARCA Racing Series for two years, before moving up to the Truck Series and now Xfinity Series. He has been with Kaulig Racing since 2016 and is in his second season serving as the Car Chief on the No. 10 Chevrolet. When he’s not at the track, he enjoys hunting, fishing and football with his family.

Alex Yontz
Crew Chief: No. 11
- Hometown
- Walnut Cove, NC
Alex Yontz is entering his 18th year in racing after getting his start in go-kart racing at the age of six. He went on to race in several different series including legend cars, late models, the ASA National Series, ARCA Racing Series, and the NASCAR Truck Series. His favorite memory is winning the Bailey’s 300 late model race at Martinsville Raceway. He joins Kaulig Racing after an extensive driving career, which will allow him to provide valuable insight to the setup of Kaulig Racing’s Chevrolet SS Camaros. When not at the race track, Yontz enjoys spending time at the beach with his family.

Ryan “Turbo” Richmond
Car Chief: No. 11
- Hometown
- Clinton, NY
Joining Kaulig Racing in the winter of 2019, Ryan “Turbo” Richmond was newly promoted from front-end mechanic on the No. 11 LeafFilter Gutter Protection Chevy to Car Chief. Growing up in Clinton, New York, Richmond worked on his dad’s street stock for the weekly series at Utica Rome Speedway. When not traveling with the No. 11 team, Richmond enjoys getting behind the wheel at Millbridge Speedway in the DNQ Karting Series. Richmond is also a new dad to an eight-month-old son and enjoys going to the beach with his family and dogs.

Jason Trinchere
Crew Chief: No.16
Hometown: Easton, PA
Growing up, Jason Trinchere worked with his dad on his modified team prior to climbing behind the wheel of an open-wheel car for the first time at 15-years-old. Trinchere would go on to compete for 12 years before moving to North Carolina in 2005 to pursue his NASCAR dreams. Since then, Trinchere has worked in all of the top-three series as an engineer. One of Trinchere’s career highlights was uniquely being apart of NASCAR’S “trifecta” – winning the Daytona 500, Brickyard 400 and the Indianapolis 500 in the same year, with two organizations.
While growing up in Pennsylvania Trinchere attended Penn State where he earned a Mechanical Engineering degree. When not working in the shop or traveling to the race track, Trinchere is a full on “girl dad” and supporting his daughter’s competitive dance team efforts.
