Darian Grubb, who guided Tony Stewart to an incredible five-win run to the 2011 Sprint Cup Series title, has agreed to become crew chief for Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin.
Hamlin nearly won the 2010 title but struggled in 2011 with just one victory and a ninth-place finish in the final standings.
Mike Ford, who was crew chief for Hamlin, was released Tuesday, setting the stage for Grubb to take over.
