Changes keep coming during the offseason

The cars of NASCAR have been silent for more than a month, but driver- and crew chief-change announcements still come on a regular basis.

Roush Racing has announced that veteran crew chief Larry Carter will take over as crew chief of the No. 26 Ford driven by Jamie McMurray in Nextel Cup. He had been set to lead the crew of David Reutimann's Toyota, but that position now goes to Frank Kerr.

In other moves:

+ Derrick Finley has been named crew chief for the No. 36 Toyota of Jeremy Mayfield.

+ Andrew Randolph, who most recently served as director of engine development for Hendrick Motorsports, has moved to Bill Davis Racing's engine shop.

+ Veteran crew chief Lee McCall, who contended for the Cup championship in 2002 with driver Sterling Marlin, has moved from Chip Ganassi Racing to BAM Racing, where he'll work with driver Mike Bliss.

The BAM team also has switched from Arrington Engines to Evernham Engines.
