Busch may be leaving Hendrick at the end of this season, but crew chief Alan Gustafson said he wants to stay loyal to team owner Rick Hendrick, no matter what that may entail. "I expect to be a crew chief at Hendrick Motorsports, but I will make the statement that I will be at Hendrick Motorsports next year regardless," Gustafson said Friday at Michigan International Speedway. "I'd rather sweep floors for Rick Hendrick than be a crew chief for someone else."
Gustafson knows he would be a highly sought-after crew chief if he were to consider leaving the company but said his personal ties to Hendrick will keep him at HMS. "Rick, quite frankly, is the classiest guy in this garage," he said. "He's been great to me from day one when I started there eight years ago. "This sport's going to come and go, things are going to happen, but to have a personal relationship with a grand man like that is very important to me. And I'm going to be loyal to him; he's been loyal to me." (SceneDaily.com)
I really hope that Alan DOES stay at HMS, I think he is one the best young crew cheifs out there and would be an asset to Dale Jr., or even Casey Mears for that matter.
