L. Cassill - D

StarCom Racing enhances its program in a major way for the 2019 season by purchasing a Charter from RCR Racing, ensuring its commitment to NASCAR and its fans. In another effort to continue its growth in the sport, SCR has signed Cassill as its driver for the 2019 season and is confident that this move will contribute in large part to the success of the team, StarCom Racing PR reports.

SCR is growing rapidly. The team moved into a new race shop for the upcoming season, and now they've purchased a NASCAR charter from Richard Childress Racing. In addition, the organization has made Cassill their full-time driver for 2019. He made 29 starts for the team last season to mixed results. However, this team is growing and heading in the right direction. "I'm very excited to be back with StarCom Racing for 2019," said Cassill. "We put in a lot of work at the end of 2018 to make improvements for this coming year, and I think that work will pay off across the board. The team is making big investments in cars and engines to step up our program, and it only motivates me to bring 110% as a driver."

D. Hemric - D

Hemric will carry a familiar number for his rookie season in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series in 2019, driving the No. 8 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. The 27-year-old will continue the long tradition of Kannapolis, North Carolina, natives who have driven the No. 8 on the racetrack, Richard Childress Racing PR reports.

Richard Childress Racing is celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2019, so to celebrate the milestone they are bringing back the No. 8 car to the team. This is effectively the No. 31 team still, but will just change car numbers. Hemric's rookie season will be spent in the iconic No. 8 that the entire Earnhardt family raced with throughout the years.

J. McMurray - D

D. Hamlin - D

Joe Gibbs Racing announced that Chris Gabehart will serve as crew chief on the No. 11 MENCS Toyota. Gabehart spent the past three seasons as a crew chief in JGR's Xfinity Series program, capturing a total of nine wins over that time, Joe Gibbs Racing PR reports.

Gabehart has been promoted from JGR's Xfinity Series program to head up Hamlin's Cup team in 2019. Eric Phillips has also been brought in from the lower ranks of JGR to head up the No. 11 team's car chief position. Both have achieved a ton of success in JGR's Xfinity program, and are hoped to spur Hamlin to a better campaign in the upcoming year. Hamlin is coming off a winless 2018 season, which was his first-ever winless season in 13 years of full-time racing at NASCAR's top level.

K. Busch - D

Busch and sponsor Monster Energy will move to Chip Ganassi Racing next season for Busch's 20th season in NASCAR, the Associated Press reports.

The deal is a one-year contract with Ganassi, and Busch will be teammates with Kyle Larson. Primary sponsor, Monster Energy, will pay the bills and help fund the team.

Busch confirmed Sunday night that he will not be returning to Stewart-Haas Racing next season, motorsport.com reports.

Busch posted to his Twitter account Sunday confirmation that he would not be returning to the No. 41 team at Stewart Haas Racing. The two were unable to work out a contract extension and will part ways heading into 2019. Busch has been rumored to the No. 1 Chevrolet of Chip Ganassi Racing, but that has yet to be confirmed. The veteran driver can still win races, so he's a valuable free agent commodity.

A. Dillon - D

Danny Stockman, who guided Dillon to the 2011 truck title and 2013 Xfinity title, will replace Justin Alexander as Dillon's Cup crew chief next season, Bob Pockrass of ESPN reports.

The reunion of Stockman and Dillon is hoped to jump start the young driver's performance. He nabbed one victory and eight Top-10 finishes last season en route to a 13th-place points finish. Stockman and Dillon have won championships in the lower divisions of NASCAR, so the working relationship and chemistry is already well established.

J. Johnson - D

Seven-time NASCAR champion Johnson and two-time Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso have had the first chance to try each other's cars out during the JJxALO car swap in Bahrain, motorsport.com reports.

It's been an interesting experience for both drivers, but Johnson did run into some problems during his first F1 stint. His helmet was lifting off his head on the straights, so McLaren fitted a new windscreen to the car. Johnson would return to the track for a much longer second stint in the car. These are the NASCAR star's first-ever laps in an F1 machine.

D. Hemric - D

Crew chief Luke Lambert told NBC Sports he's signed a new deal with Richard Childress Racing and will serve as rookie Hemric's crew chief on the No. 31 car next season.

Hemric will get the steadying benefit of having long-time No. 31 crew chief, Lambert, to oversee his rookie campaign in 2019. However, it will be the first time he has worked with a young driver. Lambert had spent the last five seasons with veteran Newman at the No. 31 team. "It will be different in ways," Lambert said of working with a rookie. "I've been around situations with young drivers a lot so I'm very familiar with what sort of things need to be done differently."
