Chad KnausLowe’s Chevy driver Jimmie Johnson and the Nextel Cup Series travel to Michigan International Speedway this weekend for Sunday’s 400-mile race. Johnson finished fifth and second in the last two races at Pocono and Watkins Glen. This weekend, Crew Chief Chad Knaus rejoins the team after a six-race absence.

Johnson said, “I have been proud of the team and what we have done without Chad. I think we have kept our pace up. But, we really look forward to having him back this week getting everything in line and getting ready for the Chase. I have to give our guys a lot of credit by staying focused throughout these six races.”

    how many times has knaus been caught cheeting?
    and he still gets a 6 race week suspension? knaus will always
    continue to cheat as long as nacsar gives him the 6 race week
    suspensions. nascar better looking at that #48 car more
    closely since the chase is coming up. and jj better be looking
    at new crew cheifs and replacing chad real quick.
