Kevin Hamlin, crew chief of the No. 83 Red Bull Racing entry driven by Brian Vickers, has been named the Wypall Wipers crew chief of the race for Saturday night’s LifeLock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway.
The Hamlin-led team gambled on pit strategy throughout the race, a move that paid off as the field cycled through green-flag stops then returned to the sequence of the leaders when a caution came out for debris on lap 143.
“Kevin has solidly kept his team in the top-20 [in NASCAR Sprint Cup points]," Wypall spokesman Jeff Hammond said. "Being 14th in points puts his team in contention to make the Chase [For The NASCAR Sprint Cup field].”
The 2008 Wypall Wipers Crew Chief Challenge is a season-long contest to determine the best crew chiefs in the NASCAR Sprint Cup garage. Following each race, a panel will vote to determine which crew chief demonstrated the most outstanding strategy and leadership during the race. It isn’t necessarily the crew chief who goes to victory lane, but the crew chief who makes the biggest difference for his team.
