Hendrick engineer to become crew chief for Stewart
Jim Utter / The Charlotte Observer
Hendrick Motorsports engineering manager Darian Grubb has accepted a position as crew chief for driver Tony Stewart and his No. 14 Chevrolet next season, the Observer and ThatsRacin.com have learned.
Grubb, who works with the Nos. 5 and 88 teams at Hendrick, is expected to remain with that organization for the remainder of this season, sources said Tuesday.
Stewart is leaving Joe Gibbs Racing at the end of the season to take 50 percent ownership in Stewart-Haas Racing, which will field Chevrolets for Stewart and teammate Ryan Newman.
Grubb was not immediately available for comment. A spokesman with Hendrick said the organization does not discuss the contract status of employees. Stewart-Haas Racing officials declined to comment.

I think this is a great opportunity for Darien, he did a good job when he had to fill in for the crew chief. He has been mentored by some of the best so he should do well.

Stewart said he learned from Joe Gibbs that you have to surround yourself with the best people in order to succeed. It appears he is doing just that.
