Marshall Carlson will assume the duties of president and chief operating officer of Hendrick Motorsports, team owner Rick Hendrick announced Wednesday. Carlson, 37, was named executive vice president and general manager of Hendrick Motorsports in 2005.
The office of president has been vacant since the death John Hendrick, Rick Hendrick’s brother, in the crash of a Hendrick plane en route to Martinsville in October 2004. Carlson is Rick Hendrick’s son-in-law.

“Marshall has the ability to plug into every aspect of our industry, from competition to marketing, at an extremely high level,” Hendrick said. “He’s versatile from a business perspective, and there’s a high degree of respect for him throughout the organization because of the way he treats people.”
