12/03/2008 - Concord, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Roush Fenway Racing has named Donnie Wingo as Jamie McMurray's crew chief for the 2009 Sprint Cup Series season. Wingo and McMurray are paired again after working together for three seasons at Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates.
"I'm thrilled to be working with Jamie again," Wingo said in a team statement. "Jamie and I had some good runs together at Ganassi, and we were pretty successful on the track. I've seen how well Jamie has performed in the past, and I hope with coming over to Roush Fenway Racing we can build on that success."
Wingo replaces Larry Carter, who is moving over to Yates Racing to serve as Paul Menard's crew chief next season. Wingo began the 2008 season at Ganassi as Juan Pablo Montoya's crew chief, but finished the year as the pit boss for Reed Sorenson's team.
McMurray joined Roush Fenway in 2006. He finished 16th in the Sprint Cup point standings this year with four top-five finishes and 11 top-10s.
"Donnie and I have been friends for years," McMurray said. "Even when he wasn't my crew chief, I would still call and talk to him - not just about racing - but anything. He is one of the hardest workers I know, so to be able to have him come over to Roush Fenway and be a part of this No.26 Crown Royal/IRWIN Industrial Tools Ford team is really exciting."
