Champion Tire & Wheel has announced the recipient of the 2011 Sprint Cup “Consistently Smooth” award is Stewart-Haas Racing’s, Aaron Kuehn. The award recognizes the skill and effort of the team’s tire specialist in overseeing the #14 teams’ tire and wheel program. The tire specialist is an important piece in the performance formula for a championship effort as it requires managing a program of over 2,500 tires and wheels throughout the full Sprint Cup season. When the call for a pit stop comes, the efforts to find the right combination of tires, wheels, and air pressure is critical in the overall handling and performance of the race car. The lead crystal trophy will be presented to Kuehn at the team’s shop in Charlotte, NC with Owner/Driver -Tony Stewart, Vice President of Competition – Matt Borland, and Crew Chief – Darian Grubb. In addition to the Sprint Cup series recipients, Champion Tire and Wheel will also present Roush-Fenway Racing’s Kevin Kramzer, the Championship tire specialists award for the Ricky Stenhouse driven Nationwide Series team, and Dustin Keath, the tire specialist for Richard Childress Racing and the Austin Dillon driven Camping World Truck Series Championship effort.(Champion Tire and Wheel PR) (12-1-2011)
