Campe joins Legacy Motor Club as technical director

Brian Campe has been named technical director of Legacy Motor Club effective immediately.

“I’m super excited to join Legacy Motor Club and am looking forward to the opportunity and challenge ahead,” Campe said. “I believe in the vision for Legacy M.C. and hope to help build on the talent that is already in place and bring my experience to the organization so we can compete for wins at NASCAR’s highest level.”

Campe joins the organization from Hendrick Motorsports, where he held the same role. In May, Campe called the shots as Kyle Larson’s strategist at Arrow McLaren for the Indianapolis 500.

A mechanical engineering graduate from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Campe began his NASCAR career at Dale Earnhardt Inc. before moving to Hendrick Motorsports. He’s also worked with JR Motorsports and Team Penske, the latter of which was on both the NASCAR side and in the IndyCar Series where he won the Indianapolis 500 with Juan Pablo Montoya and the championship with Josef Newgarden. He subsequently rejoined Hendrick Motorsports in 2021.

“The addition of a talent like Brian Campe is integral to the success of Legacy M.C.,” said co-owner Jimmie Johnson. “Brian’s experience with championship teams like Hendrick and Penske will make him a huge asset to Legacy M.C. and we are eager to see the improvement his leadership will bring to the engineering arm of the Club.”

Legacy Motor Club fields two full-time entries for Erik Jones and John Hunter Nemechek. Johnson competes in a third entry in select races.
