NEW YORK - Jason Burdett has left Michael Waltrip Racing, where he served as crew chief for driver Dale Jarrett, to become the car chief for Hendrick Motorsports' Jeff Gordon, a Hendrick spokesman confirmed Wednesday.

Burdett worked on the Gordon and Jimmie Johnson teams at Hendrick from 2000-2002 before joining Robert Yates Racing as the car chief for Jarrett. He joined MWR in May 2007 to replace Matt Borland as Jarrett's crew chief for the first-year Nextel Cup team.

Burdett replaces Jeff Meendering, who has taken over as crew chief for Petty Enterprises' Bobby Labonte.

A replacement for Burdett at MWR has not been named.

Mentioned Drivers: Bobby Labonte
