HMS first chassis “Dusty”

I am quite proud to have supervised the restoration of “Dusty”, the first chassis Hendrick Motorsports ever built in-house. Once again, my guys did an amazing job! The car looks incredible! To see the car being presented to Rick Hendrick by my dad and the other 20+ year employees, was a real treat.

Here’s an article on the restoration and the presentation to Mr. Hendrick. The article even has a quote from yours truly. Enjoy this little bit of racing history! Hendrick Presented With First Chassis

And thankfully no one asked why it was named “Dusty”! Whew!
