The Crew Chief Club was founded by Jimmy Makar, Robin Pemberton, Larry McReynolds, and Todd Parrott. Check it out!

Being rooted in racing helped Peter Jellen grow.

Makar pleased with Pontiac's success

I will add other crew member profile web pages as I find them. I feel they deserve just as much recognition as the driver. If you know of any good websites that profile the crew members, please email me.
