For the 2018 racing season, NASCAR imposed a new set of regulations on competitors, including limiting the number of team members allowed on the track during races. For legendary race team Hendrick Motorsports, this meant that many of the race-day crew would now need to perform their critical duties remotely from the team headquarters in Concord, NC.
As Hendrick Motorsports grappled with how to adjust to the new regulations, its head of IT Matt Cochran, and leader of Competition Systems group Alba Colon, saw technology as the answer.
