Addington wins Wypall crew chief award for Dover performance
Addington's team won for the fourth time this season and leads the Sprint Cup standings.
“Steve made some great calls, adjusting air pressures, etc., just trying to make the car a little bit better," Busch said.
The combination of Addington’s strategy and consistent 12-second pit stops by the crew aided the driver's ability to race at the front of the pack and take the win.
“The way we got ahead was just great green-flag pit stops," Addington said. “That gave us a big advantage."
The 2008 Wypall Wipers Crew Chief Challenge is a season-long contest for crew chiefs in the Sprint Cup Series. Following each race, a panel will vote to determine which crew chief demonstrated the most outstanding strategy and leadership during the race. The honoree isn’t necessarily the crew chief who goes to victory lane but the crew chief who makes the biggest difference for his team.
In addition to a $1,000 check, the winning crew chief will receive signage to announce the win on their pit box the following week. The crew chief with the most weekly wins will be presented a $20,000 check at the season finale in Homestead, Fla.
