In the competitive world of NASCAR®, a split second can mean the difference between winning and losing. Extremely reliable, advanced mobile computing technology is a critical part of the data analysis, simulation and constant communication it takes to get ahead. Hendrick Motor Sports®, the racecar designer for drivers such as Jeff Gordon, Jimmy Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr., required a performance laptop that could withstand oil, metal chips, grinding dust and constant vibration. When put to the test, most laptops failed after one year of use. In 2004, Hendrick Motor Sports deployed Panasonic Toughbook® mobile computers to design and develop state-of-the-art racecars, and to analyze a car's performance on the track. The result: a tough mobile computing solution that's still running strong. The durability, integrated mobile broadband and speed of Toughbook mobile computers give Hendrick Motor Sports the competitive edge needed to win the race.
