Adam Stevens, crew chief for Kyle Busch and Joe Gibbs Racing’s MOOG-equipped #18 Toyota Camry, is the 2018 MOOG “Go the Extra Mile” Crew Chief of the Year.

Stevens won a season-high five weekly MOOG “Go the Extra Mile” Crew Chief awards, which are presented to the crew chief whose car delivers the greatest improvement in average lap time from the first to the second half of a race while finishing on the lead lap. A total of 17 different crew chiefs earned the weekly award over the 36-race season.

“Succeeding with this team was inevitable, as it was through Adam’s initial success as Kyle Busch’s crew chief in the NASCAR Xfinity Series™ that he was rewarded by moving up to the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, where they continued their winning ways and developed their chemistry,” said Tim Nelson, director of motorsports for Federal-Mogul Motorparts. “Adam’s engineering skills and on-the-spot decision-making earned him eight wins in 2018 alone, and pushed the team to become regular season points champion, qualified for the Playoffs, and advanced to the Championship Four.

“We congratulate Adam on his 2018 MOOG Crew Chief of the Year Award.”

As the MOOG brand’s Crew Chief of the Year, Stevens received a handcrafted MOOG ball joint trophy and $100,000 check from Federal-Mogul Motorparts.
