Ep. 276 | Jessica Hook

Jessica Hook is an engineer at Hendrick Motorsports, but her exact role is to be determined as Hook looks for her next challenge. However, she was heavily involved in Garage 56 and she’s among the team now closing the chapter on that historic event as the parts and pieces are back at the shop. Hook recalls when she was brought into the loop by Chad Knaus with five minutes' notice; the science behind competing at Le Mans regarding fuel/tires and Hook’s race day role; how Hendrick Motorsports ties into her background before getting a job with the organization; how her perspective on racing changed when realizing she wanted to work in the sport; the two jobs she’s had since graduating college; working with the drivers she once looked up to; what brings Hook a sense of satisfaction in her work; would she consider looking for a crew chief role in the future.
