Pat Tryson to be crew chief for Truex in 2010
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Michael Waltrip Racing has hired Pat Tryson as the crew chief for Martin Truex Jr. next season.
Tryson will leave Kurt Busch's team at the end of this season. He has been with Busch at Penske Racing since 2007 and guided him to four wins and two berths in the Chase for the championship. Busch will start the Chase this weekend seventh in the standings.
Tryson will be just the second crew chief in Truex's NASCAR career. He's worked with Kevin "Bono" Manion in all four of his Cup seasons.
Truex is leaving Earnhardt Ganassi Racing to drive the No. 56 Toyota for MWR next season.
