Robbie Loomis, who has spent the last six years spearheading the on-track program for team owner Richard Petty, is no longer with Richard Petty Motorsports, a team spokesman confirmed Sunday.

Loomis most recently held the position of Chief Operating Officer for the organization. He has not been replaced, and Sammy Johns, director of team operations, has assumed some of Loomis’ duties.

Winner of the 2001 Sprint Cup championship as a crew chief with driver Jeff Gordon at Hendrick Motorsports, Loomis won 23 races in five years with Gordon.

Before joining Hendrick Motorsports, Loomis worked at Petty Enterprises from 1988-1999, which included two years as crew chief for Richard Petty and seven more on top of the pit box for other drivers.

He returned to Petty Enterprises following the 2005 season.
