77 off Statesville Road in Huntersville air speed is the new headquarters for 2311 racing the
racing team co-owned by Michael Jordan and Hamlin Hamlin began detailing his ideas for this
Innovative facility on a sketch pad about 3 years ago he was initially inspired after
watching the Mercedes Formula 1 team in the brawn The Impossible Formula 1 story Hulu documentary as
for example they worked on their race cars in open space this is not a race shop Hamlin explained on
a recent tour it's a place where we work yes we put cars on the track but it's so much more than
that which would you say sitting right here that we're in a race shop no it certainly doesn't feel
that way what we were in in moresville the old Germain racing building that place was a race shop
in a garage this is not this is something that is different every inch of this building mattered to
Hamlin he remembered eating at a Breakfast Cafe in Scottsdale Arizona that had plants hanging from
the ceiling on top of having television screens pool tables shuffle board and couch style seating
Hamlin felt the green on top added a nice touch Hamlin decided to spend 6 hours setting up air
speeds break room himself he went to a store and bought plates cups and silverware to fill
the cabinets and drawers of the Lou's Kitchen in addition to buying some plants he climbed onto
a ladder and hung The Greenery onto the ceiling those plants sit above a break room equipped with
booths couches a ping pong table an air hockey table and much more this is the race for me Hamlin
said this is a way that I recruit when I'm trying to get an engineer or someone else is trying to
get an engineer if I can walk them through here and say this is my recruiting facility this
is no different than when you take your kids to college they want to see where are the dorms
where do I eat lunch they're checking out all the amenities it's no different when we're battling
with people out of the workforce air speed was built in roughly 8 months with as many as 200
workers on site daily there are numerous nods to both Jordan and Hamlin throughout the building
including the competition side of the race team working inside walls decked out in Chicago Bulls
red while the business side of the office looks up to Carolina blue there are 23 different colors
used throughout the interior all of which were at one point a prominent Jordan shoe color there
are 23 and 11 rooms and the tribute to Hamlin has purple and orange Furniture representing the
colors of FedEx Hamlin's primary sponsor the other room has 45 Jordan brand sneakers shaped
into a number 23 all of which are shoes Hamlin had lying around in his basement when Jordan visited
air speed recently he joked with Hamlin that they needed to replace them with 45 pairs of size 13
game warn sneakers we want to be different Hamlin said not to just be different there are some
things that we think the Legacy teams have done absolutely great we try to copy that but there are
some things we ask a lot of our employees the work hours are really really tough if I can just do
anything to make their life a little better then I'm going to do that if that's throwing events
here thank you luncheons or it's going over to Frankie's amusement park and having a kids day
for all of our employees it's doing those things that make a difference where people love where
