#2 Miller Lite Dodge crew chief Pat Tryson’s effort last season garnered him the prestigious 2007 Sporting News “Crew Chief of the Year” designation. “It was a real honor to receive that notoriety, especially with the great jobs done by so many crew chiefs last year,” said Tryson. “They may have cited me for it, but it was a tribute to Kurt and our whole Miller Lite Dodge Team.” Added his driver, Busch: “Just think about the big statement winning that award meant. The fact is that Pat didn’t even join our team until June and he was on our pit box for only 21 of the 36 races. That’s pretty incredible if you ask me. It’s like spotting all the other competitors 15 races to make their marks and then going out there and making a huge impact and a major statement in a relatively short period of time. I am so proud of Pat and thrilled to have him as our team’s leader.”(Tom Roberts PR)(2-17-2008)
