Kyle Busch heads into Sunday's second race of the 2015 Chase for the Sprint Cup as the most recent winner at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

But if he's able to pull off the New Hampshire season sweep, it will come with a slightly different pit crew.

A JGR team spokesman confirmed to FOXSports.com on Wednesday afternoon that Josh Leslie will be the new front tire changer on Busch's No. 18 Toyota starting with this weekend's Sylvania 300.

Leslie replaces Nick ODell at the front tire-changer position.

Busch, a winner of four races this year, is tied for third among the 16 Chase drivers, and sits just three points out of the championship lead.
