A spokesman for Hendrick said the team does not comment on rumors [of Stewart-Haas trying to recruit Darian Grubb, engineering manager for the Nos. 5 and 88 Chevrolets at Hendrick Motorsports], while Mike Arning, spokesman for Stewart’s new team, said, “Stewart-Haas Racing has had, and will continue to have, discussions with numerous people regarding leadership positions within the team, including crew chiefs for the Nos. 4 and 14 teams. At this point, no decisions have been made in regard to filling those positions.”
Stewart, who announced Friday he has hired Ryan Newman as his teammate for 2009, also said it’s no secret that he and his team are looking for more top personnel.
“We’re working to not get just one crew chief, we’re working to get a pair of crew chiefs that … are going to work well together,” Stewart said Friday. “It helps us work together better as drivers and keeps the organization just that much more intact. [Makin' great sense already, Smoke ...]
“I’ve seen multicar organizations that the crew chiefs were in different directions with each other, and they don’t utilize the opportunity of what a two-car team is all about in the right way.” [Now, that's what I'm talkin' about, grin ...]
Stewart said he and Joe Custer, general manager of what is still Haas CNC Racing at this point, are working hard to sign the right people as quickly as possible. Full Story
Run, not walk, to the nearest Stewart-Haas Human Resources Department, then, lol … just make sure you’ve got your mettle on, or you can forget about it! [Looks like Smoke & Rocketman were havin' fun in the pic, below - and that was back in 2005 ... hard to even imagine how much fun they're havin' NOW, grin ...]
