Knaus not close to contract extension
November 25, 2009
Chad Knaus believes he and Jimmie Johnson can continue to add to their championship total for years to come.
But the crew chief first needs a new contract.
Knaus on Wednesday denied an ESPN report that he’s agreed to lead Johnson through 2015, the length of Johnson’s new contract extension with Hendrick Motorsports.
Knaus is working under an extension signed in 2006 that runs through next season. He says he’s only just started conversations on a new contract, and nothing has been agreed upon.
