After parting ways with Koehler Motorsports and Ricky Thornton Jr. at the end of September, Anthony Burroughs is the new crew chief for Kyle Bronson.

Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series announcer James Essex announced the move during the Pittsburgher 100 broadcast on Saturday evening. He stated, “Of course, a few days ago Anthony Burroughs and the Koehler Motorsports parted ways. And it became official at the race track today that Anthony Burroughs is the new crew chief for the 40B of Kyle Bronson.”

“So Donnie Birdwell, who was the crew chief, he is still on as the crew,” Essex added. “Justin Tharp takes over the crew chief for the 20RT here for the rest of the season.”
