We do TV commercials all the time, but rarely do we take behind-the-scenes photos because we are just too busy working. Also in some cases, they’re frowned upon as the sponsor understandably wants to be the one to premier the scene. In this case, my showcar driver had some time on his hands after getting […]
I’ve been around for so many Hendrick Motorsports Media Days that I’ve lost track. So many paint scheme and driver unveilings through the years, and so much hype and hoopla. I secretly LOVE it, but I try my best to act like it’s just another day. My department is responsible for working with the graphic […]
One of the more interesting things we’ve been a part of was the behind-the-scenes work involved with Darren Romeo‘s disappearing race car illusion. We were contracted to supply a slightly modified Jeff Gordon #24 DuPont car, and Darren’s folks in Branson did the rest. The show pitch as I remember it, was that Darren would […]
Farewell to Brian Vickers. I had the chance to work with Brian some through his time at Hendrick Motorsports, and it was always a pleasure. I’m sad to see him go, and I wish him the best of luck in the future. His highlight with Hendrick was his Busch Series Championship in 2003. That’s so […]
I am so proud to be a very small part of the 2006 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Championship! Great performance by Jimmie Johnson, Chad Knaus, the #48 Lowe’s team, and the rest of Hendrick Motorsports! I’m happy to be part of it!
Among other things, my group is in charge of preparing the two-seat race cars Jeff Gordon and others use for various charity, sponsor, or promotional events.

I saw a man I knew for years take his last breath two years ago today. He suffered a massive heart attack and crashed his car into a power pole right by us. We heard a collision and saw the lights flicker in the shop, so we stepped outside to see what happened. Seeing a […]
*One of Mary Myrick’s best recipes* Ingredients: Combine all ingredients, except the bread. Mix well. Slice the French bread in half horizontally and spread the cheese mixture thickly on cut sides of both halves. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees until golden, about 10-15 minutes. Makes 12-16 servings. This is very good […]
*One of Mary Myrick’s best recipes* Ingredients: Cook the water, sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes thickened and clear. Remove from heat and stir in the dry gelatin powder. Set aside while you rinse and cap the strawberries. Place the strawberries tip side up on […]
