KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (AP) — Tony Stewart will have a new crew chief for his final season in NASCAR.

Stewart-Haas Racing said Monday that Michael Bugarewicz has been promoted from race engineer for Kevin Harvick's team to crew chief for Stewart.

Bugarewicz replaces Chad Johnson, who last week left to crew chief Kyle Larson for Chip Ganassi Racing.

Stewart is retiring at the end of next season.

SHR also said Billy Scott has been named crew chief for Danica Patrick. He's most recently been a crew chief at Michael Waltrip Racing. Scott replaces Daniel Knost, who was promoted to a senior leadership position managing vehicle dynamics.
