Another year goes by, another Media Day comes to Hendrick Motorsports. This is the first year I haven’t been involved in the car production for the Showcar Department, so it all feels a little surreal to me. The media came and went while I happily did my new job managing the Hendrick Heritage Center. No complaints for sure, but I do kind of miss it. Media Day was a chance to show off all my employee’s hard work making the new paint schemes work on new cars, and although it was always a rush, I had the best crew in the world working for me. They always made it happen on time. Those guys were the best of the best. Truly world-class mechanics, fabricators, and body men.

I’m assuming all went well this year, but dang it’s got me feeling nostalgic, so here’s a photo of me with last year’s cars. My final pic like this, with the final group of showcars I managed the construction of for the 2009 Media Day.
