40 Todd Berrier Crew Chief Furniture Row Racing Birthdate: May 29, 197 Hometown: Kernersville, N.C. Residence: Denver, Colo. Spouse: Ginger Children: Cooper (12/3/6) Spencer (11/3/9) Since taking over the Furniture Row Racing crew chief duties in midseason of 212, Todd Berrier has had a major impact in the team s climb to a Chase contender in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. He directed Furniture Row Racing to a historical feat in 213 as the Denver, Colo.-based organization became the first single-car team to ever earn a berth in the 1-race Chase playoff championship format. Along with qualifying for the 213 Chase, Berrier s expertise also guided Furniture Row Racing to team season records with 11 top-five and 16-top-1 finishes, nine front-row starting positions and a 1 th -place finish in the final driver point standings. A NASCAR veteran of nearly 2 years, Berrier has worked with many of the sport s top competitors, including Dale Earnhardt, Mike Skinner, Kevin Harvick, Jeff Burton, Bobby Labonte and Kurt Busch. As a crew chief for the past 17 years in NASCAR s three major series Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck -- Berrier has had his share of success. His impressive Sprint Cup resume, heading into the 213 season, is highlighted with eight wins including the Daytona 5 and Brickyard 4 71 top-fives and 149 top-1s. Berrier s crew chief accomplishments also include 13 Nationwide wins, four truck wins and a Nationwide season championship. He also directed wins from his crew chief perch in each of NASCAR s annual non-point races Sprint All-Star Race (27 with Harvick), Budweiser Shootout (28 with Harvick) and the Daytona 5 qualifying race (211 with Burton). Growing up in North Carolina, the hotbed of stock car country, Berrier always had a passion for auto racing. Following his 1988 graduation from Robert B Glenn High School in Kernersville, N.C. he began working on late model cars that competed at local racetracks. Berrier s big break came in August 1993 when he was hired as a fabricator for the renowned NASCAR team of Richard Childress Racing (RCR). He also worked as a shock specialist at RCR and was a member of Skinner s team which captured the inaugural NASCAR truck series championship in In 1997 RCR promoted Berrier to the crew chief role for Jay Sauter s entry in the truck series. He spent three years tuning Sauter s truck, scoring four victories and top-1 point finishes in each season. -continued-

41 Berrier became Harvick s crew chief in the Nationwide Series in 2 and led the young RCR driver to the Nationwide season championship the following year. Harvick s 21 Nationwide championship record included five wins, 2 top-fives, 24 top-1s and four poles. Berrier was elevated to a full time Sprint Cup crew chief position in 22 for RCR driver Jeff Green. After one season with Green, Berrier was reunited with Harvick, who was competing in the Cup series. With Berrier as crew chief, Harvick won eight times, including two prestigious wins -- the 23 Brickyard 4 at Indianapolis and the 27 Daytona 5. Berrier also directed Harvick to post-regular season Chase appearances in 26, 27 and 28. The team of Berrier and Harvick broke up following the ninth race of the 29 season as Berrier became crew chief for RCR drivers Casey Mears and later in the year for Jeff Burton. Berrier and RCR ended their 18-year association in July 211. Berrier joined JTG Daugherty Racing as crew chief for driver Bobby Labonte at the start of the 212 season. He worked at JTG before joining Furniture Row Racing.
