Racing career

Carelli won the NASCAR Southwest Tour championship in 1991 and won 21 times in the series during his career. He joined the NASCAR Winston West Series in 1992, and he was named the series Rookie of the Year. He returned to the series in 1993, capturing the series championship and Most Popular Driver award. He has won nine times in that series.

He was one of the original drivers in the Craftsman Truck Series, starting at the series' first race at Phoenix in 1995. Carelli raced every series race until he suffered near-fatal injuries when his truck hit the wall during a race at Memphis Motorsports Park in 1999. He suffered a basilar skull fracture, damaged his carotid artery and sinus.{{cite web|url=http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2009/jun/21/carellis-seat-safer-than-99/|title=Rick Carelli's seat safer than '99 Trucks Series ride|last=Wack|first=Craig|date=June 21, 2009|publisher=The Commercial Appeal|access-date=3 February 2010}} He recovered and returned to race the entire 2000 season. He won another race at Richmond International Raceway in 2000 with an underfunded team that he was the crew chief for. He also made 9 Winston Cup starts from 1992 to 1994. He stopped driving in 2004 and moved into the administrative side of motorsport.

After retiring from driving, he later became the team manager for Kevin Harvick Incorporated – a position that he held when Ron Hornaday won the 2007 championship. He later worked with NTS Motorsports as the team general manager.{{cite web|url=http://www.ntsmotorsports.com/no-14-california-clean-power-chevrolet-to-feature-throwback-paint-scheme-from-inaugural-truck-series-race/|title=No. 14 California Clean Power Chevrolet to Feature Throwback Paint Scheme From Inaugural Truck Series Race|work=NTS Motorsports|date=September 21, 2015|access-date=September 22, 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923065106/http://www.ntsmotorsports.com/no-14-california-clean-power-chevrolet-to-feature-throwback-paint-scheme-from-inaugural-truck-series-race/|archive-date=September 23, 2015}} Carelli was also the spotter for the Stewart-Haas Racing No. 41, driven by Kurt Busch after first working with him at Furniture Row Racing;{{cite interview|last=Carelli|first=Rick|interviewer-last=Southers|interviewer-first=Tim|url=https://us.motorsport.com/nascar-cup/news/eye-in-the-sky-veteran-rick-carelli-helps-erik-jones-grab-1st-cup-win-1061652/3144104/|title=Eye in the Sky: Veteran Rick Carelli helps Erik Jones grab 1st Cup win|website=Motorsport.com|publisher=Motorsport Network|date=July 19, 2018|access-date=February 20, 2021}} FRR's general manager Joe Garone was Carelli's crew chief from 1989 to 1994.{{cite news|last=Valdez|first=Alexandria|url=https://www.denverpost.com/2014/07/11/nascars-furniture-row-racing-team-fueled-by-homegrown-joe-garone/|title=NASCAR's Furniture Row Racing team fueled by homegrown Joe Garone|newspaper=The Denver Post|date=July 11, 2014|access-date=February 21, 2021}} He later became Erik Jones' spotter at FRR before following him to Joe Gibbs Racing and Richard Petty Motorsports.{{cite news|last=Pockrass|first=Bob|url=https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nascar/2021-brings-change|title=2021 Brings Change|website=Foxsports.com|publisher=Fox Sports|date=December 14, 2020|access-date=February 20, 2021}}
