Hendrick Motorsports

I joined Hendrick Motorsports as a developmental pit crew member in September.  Formerly an offensive lineman from the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, I didn’t have a racing background, but knew I wanted to continue my athletic career in a team sport.

With the offseason ahead, we typically start asking ourselves what we think about our paint schemes. We discuss if there is anything that could be better or changed, and the National Guard was up for some changes so we reviewed the blue-and-white look the No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet currently runs.

Growing up in Nyack, N.Y., I dreamed about working for a race team. I got my first break managing and building engines for a kart racing team before making the move to Hendrick Motorsports where I’ve spent the last 12 years as a machinist in the engine shop. I’ve always loved the competition of racing, and one of the highlights of working with this organization is the opportunity to compete with my peers both at Hendrick Motorsports and within the Hendrick Automotive Group in the annual Randy Dorton Engine Builder Showdown.
