Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan built the most advanced NASCAR garage

Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin designed a NASCAR garage from the ground up for 2311 Racing, turning it into a fully integrated base of operations.

It covers every stage of the racing process, from teardown and inspection to final assembly and team training.

Both owners played an active role in shaping how the facility works, focusing on efficiency, layout, and daily function.

The choices they made show how 2311 Racing is building its strategy from the inside out, one system at a time.

A NASCAR garage fit for a full racing team

The NASCAR garage follows a logical path from teardown to inspection, rebuild, and rollout.

Each step has its own space, including dedicated rooms for suspension components, transaxles, electronics, and cooling systems.

The final stage is the assembly room, where cars are put back together before being wrapped and prepped for race day.

Lighting and layout were selected to help technicians, not to impress visitors.

The flooring uses a light-colored tone to increase visibility when working under vehicles.

No space in the NASCAR garage is decorative. It all supports the mechanical process.

Denny Hamlin handled the initial design phase himself, sketching layouts on cardboard and adjusting space by task.

His focus was on daily use. Every high-traffic area is within reach of the key work zones.

Managers have a central command point, and the garage’s overall layout keeps movement tight and functional.

Visual references to Michael Jordan appear throughout the 2311 Racing building.

Sneakers from his signature line are displayed on a wall.

A 23-degree window angle repeats in the architecture, and the color zones reflect Jordan’s basketball career.

These touches give the NASCAR garage an identity, but they never take over the space.

The facility also supports physical training. Drivers and pit crew members use the gym for strength and recovery programs tailored to the demands of each role.

CJ Walker, the lead athletic trainer, says the work targets core strength, neck support, and heat endurance.

“We build around the actual forces they face in the car,” he said.

There’s also a shared café, placed between departments to bring staff together during the day.

According to Denny Hamlin, this was a practical move.

When people from the business and technical sides meet informally, it improves how the team functions.

A practice pit lane runs outside the main garage.

Pit crews rehearse stops at the correct race speed, while drivers train for braking and positioning.

Inside, the Exfinity Speed Center is used for reviewing video and running analysis.

Engineers who stay behind during race weekends use this space to monitor data and support the crew at the track.

Public viewing windows allow fans to observe the work happening inside the NASCAR garage.

The fabrication and teardown zones remain closed, but visitors can watch the car rebuild process without interrupting operations.

Construction on the 2311 Racing headquarters was handled by CHO under a tight timeline.

Custom elements, including angled walls and LED lighting, were approved as long as they didn’t interfere with function.

According to the site superintendent, the goal was to build a place that performs well over time, not a display piece.

2311 Racing now operates out of one of the most functional NASCAR garage setups in the sport.

The result reflects how Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan approach competition through process, planning, and structure. It isn’t flashy, but it works.
