McGrew to stay with Earnhardt in 2010
October 30, 2009
TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP)—Dale Earnhardt Jr. will keep his crew chief next season.
Hendrick Motorsports says Lance McGrew will stay with the No. 88 team in 2010.
McGrew took over the job on an interim basis in May when Tony Eury Jr. was fired after a horrendous start to the season.
Team owner Rick Hendrick says he has faith that McGrew can get the No. 88 team turned around. Earnhardt is 24th in the standings, and has two top 10 finishes since McGrew took over.
He’s lobbied lately to keep McGrew, but has admitted his confidence in himself has been shaken during this slump.
