  More than just lugnuts: NASCAR crew chief is no easy job - USATODAY.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The crew chief and his team are beholden to multimillion-dollar sponsors and an in-hock owner who needs performance, performance, performance.
It has put crew chiefs — and their teams — into a situation where tenths of a second can make the difference between victory and defeat, in essence having a job or collecting unemployment.
It also has taken the crew chiefs' hands off the race car and out of the decision-making process, and into the position of having to meld a cacophony of talents and agendas into a symphony.

 NASCAR.COM - Roush crew chief Brown plans leave of absence - Nov 12, 2006
Brown said he discussed with Roush more than a month ago his desire not to continue as a crew chief next season, despite achieving 16 top-10 finishes this season and a 10-position advance in the standings in 27 races with driver Carl Edwards.
Brown said he made the decision to step back from the rigors of a top-level crew chief to give himself the flexibility to spend time with his family -- particularly his stepfather, with whom he raced on Pennsylvania dirt tracks earlier in his career.
Brown said that he would consider a crew chief's position again, but wouldn't feel there was a gap in his career if he never held the role again, either.

It is your job as the Light Crew Chief to schedule your crew for the technical rehearsals and the performances (don’t forget holdovers) of the show.

 Role of the crew chief   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
While I can list some that the crew chief typically carries out, to describe who the crew chiefs are, some virtuous qualities one should possess (or develop), and how they fit into the larger organizational hierarchy will better illustrate what a crew chief does.
Often the crew chief will be directed by the field scientific director or operations manager to resolve a problem, or delegate the responsibility and authority to a qualified volunteer.
Being so familiar with operational procedures, the crew chief is certainly free to take the initiative in carrying out necessary activities, thereby relieving some of the task overload from senior staff members.
