TODD  BERRIER   -   05/29/1970

Berrier got his first job as a crew chief in 1997 working for Richard Childress and driver Jay Sauter. He would lead Sauter for 1997-1999 and would win on four occasions; and finish in the Top 6 in points each year. In 2001 Childress would move Berrier up to the Xfinity series to head up Kevin Harvicks efforts.  Harvick would claim five wins and the points Championship this season.  In 2002 Childress would move Berrier up to the Cup level and paired him with driver Jeff Green. They had four Top 5 finished and almost puller off a win at Loudon NH.  From 2003-2008 Childress paired Berrier and Kevin Harvick together once again.  Harvick would win once in 2004 and finish fifth in the points.  The following season they would go win-less but visit victory lane once again in 2005.  In 2006 Harvick would win on six occasions but only manage to finish fourth in points.  Harvick would win again in 2007; but would go win-less in 2008.  In 2009 Berrier would be shuffled around too different Childress 

teams.  He was in charge of Harvick's team the first nine races; before he was shuffled over to head Casey Mears team.  For the final four races of the season he would partner with Jeff Burton.  The next year he stayed with Burton and although they didn't win; he did post two second place finishes; both coming at Dover.  He led Burtons team for the first 19 races of 2011 before being replaced by Luke Lambert.  He went to JTG Daugherty Racing at the start of 2012 to lead Bobby Labonte's race efforts.  Once again after 19 races he would be replaced by Brian Burns; and go to work for Barny Visser at Furniture Row Racing working with Regan Smith.  Before the season end Smith would be replaced by Kurt Busch.  The following season he worked with Busch full time; they almost won twice and had 11 Top 5 finishes.  Martin Truex replaced Busch for 2014 but the team had a serious reduction in performance only posting one Top 5 finish.  Berries final two times atop the pit box would come in 2016; once with Kyle Busch and once with Truex.  Berrier has compiled eight wins in his career as a Cup crew chief all with Harvick.  Major wins include Brickyard 400 in 2003 and the Daytona 500 in 2007.  He has six wins in the Xfinity Series; also all with Harvick.  Finally, he has four wins with Johnny Sauter in the Truck Series.
