Robin Pemberton has joined Andretti Autosport to oversee the team’s newest racing initiative in the Pirelli GT4 America Series.
With over 10 years served as NASCAR’s Vice President of Competition, as well as four decades of racing involvement, Pemberton brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the team.
Pemberton’s motorsports career started in 1979 with Petty Enterprises, where he worked his way to the role of crew chief for both Richard and Kyle Petty. The New York state-native later went on to the crew chief with teams such as Roush Fenway Racing and Penske Racing.
His record as a crew chief shows 28 victories and 39 pole positions. Before moving to NASCAR in 2004, Pemberton spent nearly two years as Field Manager for Ford Motorsport’s NASCAR programs, leading the development of the Ford Taurus program.
“The new Andretti Autosport GT4 program is an incredible opportunity for the team and McLaren to come together,” said Pemberton. “I’m excited to be involved and we are all working together to get the program off the ground. After spending time with Jarett at sprint car races last season, I’m impressed by his determination. He is a good talent with a bright future. I look forward to working with him and the entire Andretti Autosport team in this new challenge.”
Andretti Autosport will make its GT4 America Series debut March 1-3, at Circuit of The Americas, with Jarett Andretti behind the wheel of the new McLaren 570S GT4.
