A former modified driver who used to draw crowds to Wall Stadium in New Jersey, Ray Evernham now heads a premier racing organization in NASCAR's top series.
The road that led to his lucrative partnership with Dodge began with an encounter outside the garage at Daytona International Speedway. It was there that Evernham forged one of the most winning partnerships in racing with a young hotshot named Jeff Gordon.
Under Evernham's leadership and meticulous attention to detail, the duo won 47 Cup races while building a new model for the modern-day pit crew and began to establish himself in the role of a respected and envied leader.
Like every driven leader, however, Evernham yearned for more challenges. In 1999, Dodge asked Evernham to lead their return to Cup racing after a 20-year absence. Within two short years, helped bring the storied manufacturer back into a sport they had once dominated.
