Regan Smith will be looking for faster service when he brings the No. 78 Chevrolet down pit road this season. Furniture Row Racing announced Tuesday their 2011 over-the-wall pit crew will be employed and trained by Stewart-Haas Racing.

"We are excited to partner with SHR as it relates to the pit crew," said Joe Garone, Furniture Row Racing general manager. "After reviewing SHR's program, personnel and facility we are confident that SHR will deliver a crew that meets all of our objectives."

Based in Denver, Colorado, Furniture Row has not had access to the experienced NASCAR labor pool that is available to the teams in the Charoltte, North Carolina area. Stewart-Haas is located in Kannapolis, North Carolina.

“We are very excited about our new partnership with Furniture Row Racing and having the opportunity to help contribute to the growth of their program, while also  giving our pit crew the chance to compete and improve on a weekly basis,” said  Bobby Hutchens, director of competition, Stewart-Haas Racing.

The new Furniture Row Racing pit crew debuts in the Budweiser Shootout on February 12 at Daytona International Speedway.
