Trackhouse Racing announced on Monday the hiring of NASCAAR mainstay Todd Meredith to serve as President of Racing Operations.
Team owner Justin Marks said in a statement that Meredith began with the organization on Monday. All other existing competition department leaders will remain in place and report to Meredit.
“We’re thrilled to welcome someone of Todd’s caliber and experience to help guide Trackhouse from the top,” said Marks in a release. “His focus on culture, strategy, quick decision making and organization will be a massive shot in the arm for this company as we navigate a pivotal growth period in the history of Trackhouse Racing.”
Meredith had been with Joe Gibbs Racing from 1992 to 2016, last serving as Chief Operating Officer. The 56-year-old has spent the past decade off the road and in a consulting capacity.
“I feel at home in NASCAR and wanted to return in some form,” Meredith said. “The more I talked with Justin, the more I was excited by his vision of Trackhouse Racing. The team is very talented and quite successful, as you have seen in the last few months, but we want even more.”
Marks said all business, marketing, and partner relationships will continue to operate under Chief Revenue Officer Andrew Lukanich.
