CART reveals steward restructuring.

Legendary CART chief steward Wally Dallenbach will be back on the job in 2002, while last year's chief steward Chris Kneifel moves to managing new projects for the organisation.

The Franchise Board approved Dallenbach's return to the CART chief steward position this week, the first time since 1999 that he has held the top tower job in the FedEx Championship Series.

Kneifel will serve as a CART steward for both the FedEx Championship and CART Toyota Atlantic series in addition to focusing on driver development in the support series. Kneifel, who competed in the FedEx Championship Series from 1982-84, will assist Dallenbach at the Champcar level and work with chief steward KC van Niman in Toyota Atlantics.

"We have deliberately created an apprentice-style structure in order to give Chris some time working with the leadership qualities and guidance of a veteran like Wally Dallenbach and an equally experienced official the calibre of KC van Niman," CART's VP of racing operations John Lopes said.

"As Chief Stewards, Wally and KC will each have bottom-line responsibility for the operation of their respective series while Chris focuses on driver development and tuning his skills and experience as a race official."
