Formerly driven by Clint Bowyer the No. 33 RCR Chevy Impala has had a limited 2012 season. With only a schedule of 5 races piloted between Elliott Sadler and Brendan Gaughan, Richard Childress has decided to extend it's time on the track. The No. 33 Chevy was locked into the first 5 races thanks to Clint Bowyer's 13th place finish in points last season. The car has also been able to remain in the Top 35 this season, allowing Childress to continue running the entry. Hillman co-owner, Joe Falk, will most likely operate the car.
I can see why Richard Childress would want to keep the 33 alive. His grandson Austin Dillon, Camping World Truck Series champion, could be ready for Cup in 2013 and in need of a ride. Elliott Sadler and Brendan Gaughan also show potential in Cup, Sadler already having experience.
There is no official word on who will pilot the No. 33, but Sadler, Gaughan, Dillon and Joe Falk's nephew C. E. Falk will probably get first dibs on the extended starts.
Childress did comment on the extension and mentioned Sadler.
“Elliott may race it—we’re probably going to (race) it the rest of the year, bringing in some different people to run it,” Childress said.
It looks like we will be seeing the No. 33 on the track more often, starting at Texas in 2 weeks.
