Chad Knaus can expect an earful

| | Comments (0) |

Part of the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series All Star Challenge is a race for crew chiefs at Lowe's Motor Speedway on Saturday night.
Jimmie Johnson, winner of the past two All Star Challenge races, said the crew chiefs for all the Hendrick Motorsports teams can't wait for their chance to race.
"All the stories I have heard about their practice last night from Chad, Steve (Letarte, No. 24 crew chief), Alan (Gustafson, No. 5 crew chief) and Darian (Grubb, No. 25, crew chief) all laughing and talking together about it were pretty funny," said Johnson, who qualified second for the All Star Challenge. "They really had fun. They never get a chance to interact like that without the pressure of the intense look in their eyes of trying to beat each other. They will have a lot of fun."
But Johnson said he is looking to exact a little revenge on his crew chief.
"I hope I can get a radio because for the last six years I have heard Chad Knaus yell at me 'Don't overdrive the entry', 'Don't get the brakes too hot', and on and on and on," Johnson said. "So if I can get a radio hooked up or find one that works somehow, I am just going to complain to him the whole time and wear him out. I hope I can get that done."
