Hendrick Motorsports has signed Jeff Gordon crew chief Steve Letarte to a multiyear extension.

Letarte has been with Gordon since the end of the 2005 season. Gordon has 10 wins, 14 poles and leads NASCAR in top-five finishes since they teamed up.

Hendrick announced the decision Friday before practice at Pocono Raceway.

Gordon has a new spotter for Sunday's race after Hendrick hired Jeff Dickerson this week to replace Shannon McGlamery.
