Hendrick Motorsports executive Scott Lampe was named president of advanced manufacturing company Hendrick Motorsports Technical Solutions, which will open a new headquarters in February in Concord.
Established in 2019 as a division of Hendrick Motorsports, the technical solutions unit is now a stand-alone entity owned by Rick Hendrick and overseen by Lampe. It will support commercial and government programs with engineering and manufacturing services. Lampe will report to Hendrick Companies President Marshall Carlson, who is Rick Hendrick’s son-in-law.
“Rick Hendrick’s vision has always been about building for the future,” Carlson says in a release. “He recognized Hendrick Motorsports Technical Solutions can be a leader in advanced manufacturing, serving customers with ultra-high requirements”
“With Scott’s proven leadership and deep understanding of our organization, the company will continue to drive innovation with a racing mindset, deliver exceptional results for our customers and provide rewarding career opportunities for our teammates.”
Construction of the new Hendrick Motorsports Technical Solutions headquarters began in November 2023. It is adjacent to the Hendrick Motorsports campus, which is near Charlotte Motor Speedway.
The site includes a 160,000-square-foot military International Traffic in Arms Regulations-controlled facility designed to support and expand the company’s advanced manufacturing operations. Offerings will include fabricated metal structures, prototyping, and assembly, complemented by CNC machining, composites and electronics expertise. The building also houses engineering, quality control, business development, purchasing and program management.
Hendrick Motorsports Technical Solutions “ss dedicated to delivering cutting-edge solutions that support each of our customers in government and industry,” Lampe says. “Our auto racing DNA is a significant differentiator. We’re able to quickly solve complex problems and provide innovative, high-quality products that help our customers win.”
Hendrick Motorsport has won 14 NASCAR Cup Series Championships since auto dealer Hendrick entered the sport in 1984.
The technical solutions business was recognized as GM Defense’s Supplier of the Year for 2022, 2023 and 2024, and has been instrumental in offering roles for highly skilled workers, including those transitioning from the auto racing industry. It employs 140 people and expects to add 60 new team members in the next 18 months.
“Our region is loaded with skilled labor, from top engineering talent to master tradespeople,” Lampe said. “We are fortunate to have a world-class team in place with the opportunity for steady growth in the coming months and years.”
Lampe, 53, is graduate of Appalachian State University who began his career in 1995 with Dixon Hughes before joining Hendrick Motorsports as controller in 1999. He served as chief financial officer from 2005 to 2019, guiding the organization’s financial strategy and overseeing key business units. After working in private equity, Lampe returned to Hendrick Motorsports in 2022 as CFO. He was named a senior vice president in December 2023.
Lampe is vice chair of the North Carolina Motorsports Association board and a former member of the UNC System Board of Governors.
