(Jan. 8, 2020) – Hendrick Automotive Group chairman Rick Hendrick has assumed the role of chief executive officer following the planned retirement of president and CEO Edward J. Brown III.

Brown, 71, was previously president of global corporate and investment banking for Bank of America, where he retired in 2004. “Not only did Ed help us navigate historically complex issues, he led our company to significant growth and multiple years of record revenue, including 2019,” Hendrick said. “Notably, his passion for expanding our corporate social responsibility programs has left an indelible mark on our culture and the communities we serve. We are grateful for his many contributions and wish him the very best in his well-earned retirement. Ed leaves our organization in an exceptional place.” Although Gach officially joined Hendrick Automotive Group in July 2018 as special consultant, he has been affiliated with the company for more than 30 years.

Clues and updates will be released via Valvoline's social media channels - with the hashtags #TeamJimmie or #TeamDaleJr - to help participants revisit and fine-tune their online truck builds along the way. "The opportunity to work with Valvoline on the Reinvention Project is one I couldn't pass up," said Johnson, driver of the No. 48 Chevrolet SS.
