CONCORD, N.C. (Nov. 23, 2010) – Hendrick Motorsports has made personnel adjustments in preparation for the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season, with drivers Mark Martin, Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. being teamed with new crew chiefs. Below are the driver-crew chief pairings for each Hendrick Motorsports car, effective immediately: No. 5 Chevrolet Driver: Mark Martin Crew Chief: Lance McGrew No. 24 Chevrolet Driver: Jeff Gordon Crew Chief: Alan Gustafson No. 48 Chevrolet Driver: Jimmie Johnson Crew Chief: Chad Knaus No. 88 Chevrolet Driver: Dale Earnhardt Jr. Crew Chief: Steve Letarte The cars of Martin and four-time Sprint Cup champion Gordon will be fielded out of the same facility, now known as the 5/24 shop. Earnhardt Jr.'s Chevrolets will be prepared out of the renamed 48/88 shop alongside those of five-time and defending Cup champion Jimmie Johnson. "This will improve us as an organization, across the board," said Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports. "We had a championship season (in 2010), but we weren't where we wanted and needed to be with all four teams. We've made the right adjustments, and I'm excited to go racing with this lineup." |

Pretty much this. Except I'm unsure about 24/48 shop not being together. They're pretty much the big dogs around there. Guess Rick is giving Chad and Jimmie their own playground. Overall I'm ecstactic about it. FUCK Steve. Edited by Gordon Owns, Nov 23 2010, 07:16 PM.

He can have 10. I dont care. Steve simply couldn't get the job done with Gordon. This move should have been made years ago. |

I don't like that we got Letarte, but being in the same shop as the 48 and having access to Knaus' notes 24-7 can't hurt |

I wonder how ol Steve feels beeing Gordon's first crew cheif, not to get him into victory lane not once but, two times in Gordon's career, and to be the first full time crew cheif Jeff has had, not to win him a championship!

Jeff is keeping his old crew though right? If they give them to Jimmie I will be fucking pissed off. Besides Kyle's crew I think Gordon's crew is probably the second best on pit road. Probably even better then Matt's. Then again, Matt wasn't relevant enough for them to focus on his pit crew this year so who knows. Also, will Mcgrew be the odd man out in 2012? Kasey is bringing his old cc, 4 teams, 5 crew chiefs. I wonder who will get the ax. I vote Steve. Edited by Gordon Owns, Nov 24 2010, 03:59 PM.

Ok, fine. Gain 10+ positions on pit road then lose them on the track by turn 2. |
