| | By David Poole / The Charlotte Observer Jeremy Mayfield has a new crew chief at Haas CNC Racing. Dave Skog has been named to lead the No. 66 team.
Skog, 41, has been head of the team's engineering department. He'll take over for veteran crew chief Harold Holly, who is leaving the team.
Skog, who is from Canada, has been Mayfield's crew chief before. They worked together in 2002 when Mayfield drove the No. 19 Dodge owned by Ray Evernham.
Mayfield took over as driver for the No. 66 team at Atlanta late in the 2007 Nextel Cup season. The team finished 31st in owner points, so the No. 66 is guaranteed starting spots in the first five races on 2008.
"Dave's tenacity for learning the car of tomorrow was a huge factor in our early success with that program," said Joe Custer, the team's general manager. "He has firmly established himself as a leader in our organization."
