Donnie Wingo, crew chief for the No. 26 Roush Fenway Racing Ford driven by Jamie McMurray, has been named the Wypall Wipers Crew Chief of the Race for Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Amp Energy 500 at Talladega Superspeedway.
 
The strategy was to lay low for the first half of the race in an effort to avoid any early-race incidents and to log laps.  After the caution flag flew on lap 141 with McMurray running eighth, the team began to move to the front and tried to remain in the top three for the final 30 laps. McMurray stretched his fuel mileage through a green-white-checkered finish to earn the victory.

Bob Osborne, crew chief for Roush Fenway’s Carl Edwards, Todd Berrier, crew chief for Richard Childress Racing's Jeff Burton and Fox/Speed analyst Jeff Hammond, along with representatives from the sponsor, serve as the panel for the challenge.

In addition to a $1,000 check, the winning crew chief will receive signage on his pit box the following week. The crew chief with the most weekly wins will be honored as the Wypall Wipers Crew Chief of the Year and will be presented a $20,000 check at the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
