Austin Dillon will start the Cup playoffs Sunday without crew chief Justin Alexander on his pit box, Parker Kligerman reported Sunday on NASCAR America.
Alexander is back home in North Carolina due to a family matter. He will be replaced by Danny Stockman.
Stockman is the crew chief for Daniel Hemric on Richard Childress Racing’s No. 21 car in the Xfinity Series.
Dillon starts the South Point 400 in 18th. The race is set to begin at 3 p.m. ET on NBCSN.
