Rose, 25, began his racing career in 2018 driving for BJ McLeod Motorsports, owned by NASCAR Cup Series driver BJ McLeod and his wife Jessica. The following year he moved to Daytona Beach, Fla., running several races at New Smyrna (Fla.) Speedway. He moved to Charlotte, North Carolina this summer to further his career opportunities.
"It's an honor to have the opportunity to work with Bruce," Rose said. "His resume speaks for itself. The knowledge he can provide a young racer like myself is priceless. I'm excited and ready to get to work with the entire CRT team."
Bruce Cook, best known for his time with Kevin Harvick Inc, owned by NASCAR Cup Series Champion Kevin Harvick, and Robert Yates Racing, is a longtime NASCAR GM and crew chief with a history of developing young talent.

Currently, he oversees the No. 97 NGROTS team, No. 42 AMS team and assistant several NXS teams.
"We're excited to welcome Christian to the team," Cook said. "He is eager to learn and willing to put in the work to be successful. He will be a great addition to our team here at CRT and we can't wait to get started this coming weekend at Greenville-Pickens (Speedway)."
