Engineering a winner
Editor's Note: Niner Insider will move to a summer schedule, publishing every Tuesday and Thursday from June 1 - July 29. Our next edition will be next Tuesday, June 1. See you then!
On Sunday, Cliff Daniels ’10 will take his position as crew chief atop the pit box for the Hendrick Motorsports No. 5 Chevrolet just as he does most weeks throughout the NASCAR season.
