Donley To Lead GMS Cup Series Team

STATESVILLE, N.C. — Jerame Donley has joined GMS Racing to crew chief Ty Dillon and the No. 94 Chevrolet in the team’s inaugural season in the NASCAR Cup Series. 

Most recently, Donley spent nine years at Chip Ganassi Racing, serving as an engineer on the No. 42 Chevrolet with drivers Ross Chastain, Matt Kenseth and Kyle Larson. 

Prior to joining CGR, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte graduate worked at Hendrick Motorsports on the set-up plate and as an underneath mechanic for drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson.

During his time at HMS, Donley earned two Cup Series championships. 

The Winston Salem, N.C., native grew up racing go-karts, bandoleros, and late models, after his father, Craig, retired from spotting for Dale Earnhardt’s team at Richard Childress Racing in the early 1990s.  

The No. 94 Chevrolet team will participate in the NASCAR NextGen test at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Nov. 17-18, marking Donley and Dillon’s first on-track activity together.
