Last year, we got to introduce you to Liberty High School and Northern Arizona University Alumni, Dylan Cappello, an engineer for Front Row Motorsports. One year later, his world has taken a wild turn.
Cappello now sits atop the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series pit box with a new title, Crew Chief. The 2014 Liberty grad has been fighting to earn a role as a crew chief since he entered the sport and now gets to team up with rookie driver, Layne Riggs, with one of the top teams in NASCAR’s Truck Series.
Cappello won the 2022 NASCAR Truck Series Championship as an engineer for Front Row Motorsports with Zane Smith behind the wheel. This year, Cappello will have the opportunity to help lead this team back to the championship race at his home track of Phoenix Raceway in November.
NASCAR returns to Phoenix Raceway for the Shriners Children’s 500 weekend March 8-10, with limited tickets still available for Sunday’s main event. Plus, NASCAR Championship Weekend returns to Phoenix Raceway to crown four champions in three days from November 8-10.
