Quote selected text Published November 29th, 2007 in NASCAR News
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.
