Chad Johnston will be crew chief for Kyle Larson and the No. 42 Target Chevrolet at Chip Ganassi Racing, reports Motorsport.com.

Johnston, who replaces Chris Heroy, led Tony Stewart and the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing team for the past two seasons.

Prior to Stewart Haas, Johnston, 35, guided Martin Truex Jr. at Michael Waltrip Racing. He was displaced when MWR lost the NAPA sponsorship following the 2013 season.
