Darian Grubb proves he’s the right fit for Hamlin

And he understands that letting Grubb go can come back to bite him during this Chase.

“You obviously know that if you make a change like that, that that guy can go out and beat you,” Stewart said.

After a lunch meeting with Grubb, Hamlin was convinced that the crew chief had enough fire to lead his team for several years. And of all the jobs being offered _ including a management position at Hendrick Motorsports, where Grubb had been before joining Stewart _ he thought Hamlin was the best fit.

“He assured me that he felt like I would give him his best chance at winning a championship, and he had something to prove,” Hamlin said. “He wanted to win another championship. He just didn’t want to go out the way things ended.”
