In December of 2001, Hendrick Motorsports welcomed former "Rainbow Warrior" Chad Knaus back into the fold, naming the Illinois native to the position of crew chief for Jimmie Johnson's No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet.

Knaus worked on Jeff Gordon's No. 24 car from 1993-97, advancing from the position of general fabricator to manage the chassis and body construction program for the four-time NASCAR champion.

Serving as a tire changer on the original "Rainbow Warrior" pit crew, Knaus shared in two of those championships (1995, 1997).

In returning to Hendrick Motorsports, Knaus again reports to Gordon, an equity owner in the No. 48 Lowe's team with Rick Hendrick.
