2009 OPer Awards: Best NASCAR Crew Chief
December 27, 2009
OK NASCAR fans - go ahead and argue against this one.
I think the consistency of the NASCAR racing statistics are so overwhelmingly in favor of the Lowes 48 team, that choosing anyone but Chad Knaus is…is…just wrong.
I suppose the argument could be made that this is the 2009 OPeR award for best crew chief - not the award for best 5 or six year run. But I think Knaus has been the best this year anyway.
Steve said during the On Pit Row OPeR Awards Show, that watching the 48 team at Texas, while under extreme duress, clinched it for him. I didn’t need that, but it didn’t hurt.
