He crew chiefed the No. 19 car for Joe Gibbs Racing in 2023. He spent the majority of his 24-year career in NASCAR with JGR crew chiefing in the Cup and Xfinity Series and became the winningest crew chief in Xfinity Series history. He also crew chiefed for Brewco Motorsports in the Xfinity Series early in his career.[60] On December 13, Seth Chavka, the former engineer of JGR's No. 54 car in the Cup Series driven by Ty Gibbs who also served as an engineer and interim crew chief for JGR in the Cup Series for Kyle Busch when he drove the No. 18 car and Erik Jones when he drove the No. 20 car, was announced as Ratcliff's replacement as crew chief of the No. 19 Xfinity Series car.[38]

  • On November 28, 2023, JR Motorsports revealed that Jason Burdett would not return to the team as a crew chief in 2024. Burdett crew chiefed for JRM for nine years, his first eight were on the No. 7 car with Regan Smith in 2015 and Justin Allgaier from 2016 to 2022 and his last year was on the No. 9 car with Brandon Jones.[62] On December 18, Phillip Bell, the former engineer of the No. 9 car in 2022 when it was driven by Noah Gragson, was announced as Burdett's replacement as crew chief of the No. 9 car, returning to JRM after 1 year as Gragson's engineer in the Cup Series for Legacy Motor Club.[15]
