Matt Puccia will become crew chief for Trevor Bayne in 2016

A few weeks ago it seemed Roush Fenway's crew chief lineup was set for 2016 but reports have came in that Matt Puccia will now be the crew chief for Trevor Bayne on the No. 6 AdvoCare Ford in 2016.

Matt Puccia will now be the crew chief for Trevor Bayne in 16'
Puccia served as crew chief for Greg Biffle from 2011 until last year, only scoring 3 wins with the veteran driver.  The shakeup puts Bayne's former crew chief Bob Osborne with Front Row Motorsports and Roush Fenway affiliated driver Chris Buescher who was poised to work with Scott Graves once again until a last minute move by Scott Graves to Joe Gibbs Racing changed that.

Puccia from Watertown, New York came on board during the 2006 season working with Roush Fenway's Truck Series program as a crew chief.  He then moved to the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2009 working with Paul Menard and Ricky Stenhouse Jr, and then ran a full season with Menard in 2010.  The following year he came on board to be the crew chief for Biffle in the Sprint Cup Series where he had been since, but moves in the off-season had him working with Bubba Wallace in the Xfinity Series until this season was made.
