Keynote: Joe Gibbs Racing Team
summary
Joe Gibbs Racing runs a 400,000 ft² manufacturing and competition campus with ~600 employees and 77 engineers building roughly 2,000 manufactured parts for 39 events a year. Development centers on a digital twin (CFD/FEA plus occasional wind‑tunnel) and metrology (Hawkeye, 3D scanning) to hold bodies to 10–15 thousandths. Pit crews rehearse to achieve 12‑second pit stops; tire readings flow from a wireless depth mic to the hauler to a war room for real‑time pressure calls. Mill‑turn and 3D printing cut lead time and combine parts.
