Tony Eury Jr., who formerly served as a crew chief for Dale Earnhardt Jr., will be the crew chief for The Money Team Racing.

As the AP noted, The Money Team Racing does not have a charter, meaning that Grala will have to qualify into the 40-car Daytona 500 field.

As far as what lies ahead, The Money Team Racing general manager William Auchmoody said to the AP that the current plan is to run four races following Daytona, with a focus on road courses. However, the team is looking to run up to 15 races for the 2022 season.
