Grubb agrees to join Stewart-Haas for 2009

Thatsracin.com is reporting that Darian Grubb will be leaving Hendrick Motorsports at the end of the season to join Stewart-Haas Racing in 2009 as Tony Stewart's crew chief. Grubb is the engineering manager for the Nos. 5 and 88 teams at HMS and has served as crew chief for Casey Mears (2007) and interim crew chief for Jimmie Johnson (2006).
