Over the last 2 seasons Steve Addington was Kurt’s younger brothers crew chief at Joe Gibbs Racing. Addington and Kyle Busch combined to win 12 races together before Addington was removed as Busch’s crew chief late in the 2009 season. Addington brings along with him his intangible ability of handling volatile drivers.

Fantasy Prospective-
I wouldn’t necessarily view this move as a plus from a fantasy NASCAR prospective because Kurt Busch was as competitive as nearly anyone throughout the 2009 season. Unfortunately keeping Pat Tryson never seemed like an option for the 2 team. I view this move as an equal to a slight minus for the 2 team in the crew chief department.
