Great racing teams are dedicated to finding those hundredths in every part in their performance. With all the information recorded at both the race and during development, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hendrickmotorsports.com\/\">Hendrick Motorsports<\/a> understands that data availability needs to be fast and uninterrupted. Zerowait\u2019s storage technology, solutions and support provide them the edge they need to keep winning.<\/p>\n<p>Finding the Elusive Second<br \/>\nAlong with all of the performance data gathered by Hendrick Motorsports engineers, they record many aspects of race events to review while searching for ways to improve their track performance. When the team decided that it needed a storage solution for its HD video archives, they knew that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerowait.com\/\">Zerowait<\/a> was working with the leading international companies in the Film and VFX business. Chris Newsome, Operations Manager at Hendrick Motorsports, says, \u201cWe\u2019ve been working with Zerowait for the better part of a decade. Their team has relationships in the VFX business, and we knew they understood the required storage technology better than anyone.
