Richard Childress Racing has named Matt Shearer as Director, Business Development for their 15-time championship organization, effective immediately.
Shearer joins RCR from Churchill Downs, Inc. where he spent the past five years in their partnership development and sales departments. The graduate of the School of Management from Purdue University also has three years of sales experience in the National Football League working with the Oakland Raiders.
He will work under the guidance of Rick Penn, Vice President of Business Development for RCR.
“First and foremost, Matt is a great person and RCR is happy to have him join our team,” Penn said. “He has experienced success at every step during his career and demonstrated he can adapt and create long-term, winning partnerships. We look forward to Matt’s contributions in bringing new partners into the RCR family.”
This will be Shearer’s first foray into motorsports, making the transition from one kind of horsepower to another.
“Richard Childress Racing is one of the most well-known and highly respected organizations in motorsports and I am honored to be part of the team,” Shearer said. “NASCAR is a powerful marketing and business development platform and RCR’s focus on performance, its roster of blue-chip partners and a strong front office team make this a compelling opportunity. I look forward to getting started in my new role.”
