Fantasy NASCAR Racing

working for any team for the remainder of 2008, he joined Penske Racing's #12 Xfinity Series team as the crew chief for rookie Justin Allgaier for the 2009 season.  They did not win any races that year, but they finished sixth in points.  The duo remained together in 2010, and they did score their first win at the spring Bristol race.  Allgaier finished fourth in points and was the highest finishing Xfinity Series regular in the standings.  Due to sponsor Verizon leaving NASCAR after 2010, the #12 team could not find enough sponsorship, and Allgaier left for Turner Motorsports for 2011.  However, Walter remained with Penske and continued to crew chief the same car when it was fielded part-time for Sam Hornish Jr. Hornish would run twelve races that year, picking up one win at Phoenix towards the end of the season.   Walter left for Michael Waltrip Racing in 2013 to work as an engineer.  He returned to crew chiefing when MWR fielded a third part-time car, the #66, for owner Michael Waltrip, Brett Moffitt, and Jeff Burton, who joined MWR from Richard Childress Racing after semi-retiring.  When MWR closed down after 2015, Walter was picked up by Tommy Baldwin Racing to work on their #7 car as the head of engineering.  However, TBR would also go on to close down (after 2016), leaving him without a job again.  Walter joined Richard Childress Racing as an engineer in 2017.  After one year with RCR, he moved to DGR-Crosley starting in 2018, where he also served as an engineer.  Before the 2019 season, Walter was supposed to be the car chief for Ty Gibbs' #17 team in the K&N East Series for DGR-Crosley, but ahead of the season, he was given a hefty suspension.  but after returning, he served as the engineer for Tyler Ankrum's #17 team in the Truck Series.  Walter returned to crew chiefing in 2020, leaving DGR-Crosley to join GMS Racing to work on their new #26 truck, driven by Ankrum after he also left DGR.  They posted three Top 5 and ten Top 10's that season.  In 2021, GMS switched Walter and their No. 24 crew chief Charles Denike, with Walter becoming the crew chief of the #24.  A variety of drivers drove that vehicle during the season, with Jack Wood driving the most races (12).  The group posted two Top 5 finishes.  Chad Walter led the efforts of Jeb Burton in the Xfinity Series for Our Motorsports in 2022.  Much like his team mate Anthony Alfredo, they wasn't able to put up much of any results to brag about.  They had a season's best finish of eleventh one two occasions (Richmond and Martinsville). They were consistent as they posted 20 finishes of 20th or better.  However, all that could get them was a 16th place in the season points.  Burton left Our Motorsports at the end of the season.  Walter teamed with Rajah Caruth and owner Maury Gallagher of GMS in 2023.  They paired together for four top ten finishes, the best coming when they finished sixth at Bristol and Darlington.  Much like the previous season Walters young driver had most of his finishes inside the top 15, counting 12 of those on the year.  GMS shut down at the of the season.  No word on where Caruth or Walters will go.
