🏳️ Ray Evernham

Ray Evernham is an American motorsport consultant and former racing competitor whose driving career consisted of a single entry in the Trans-Am TA2 series during 2020, completing one round with a finishing position of 83rd and recording no wins or podium finishes. His career as a driver proved brief and unproductive; however, Evernham achieved legendary status in motorsport through his work as a crew chief and team principal across multiple decades in professional racing.[1]

Evernham's renown derives from his successful tenure as a championship-winning crew chief with Jeff Gordon at Hendrick Motorsports, where he contributed to three NASCAR Winston Cup Series championships. He founded and operated Evernham Motorsports as a team owner from 2001 to 2010 before transitioning into media and consulting roles with ESPN NASCAR coverage and Hendrick Companies. His contributions to motorsport earned recognition through induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2018 and the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 2023. In recent years, Evernham has remained involved in motorsport governance and asset management, including involvement with the SRX Racing Series and participation in IndyCar's independent officiating system.[2]
