Crew chiefs are not like drivers.  They don't mind talking to reporters in a short and quick manner, but to sit  down for an interview is a very rare moment.

On Friday morning, with rain slowing the pace at Martinsville Speedway for the upcoming STP 500 NASCAR was able to talk Chad Knaus and Alan

Gustafson, crew chiefs of the #48 and #24 respectively, to sit down with the media  for nearly 30 minutes.

Both crew chiefs were candid in their answers to a variety of questions. Still at certain points their respective answers were made in a safe mode.
