He was employed as a chassis expert by the International Race of Champions (IROC) when he was 26 years old. Drivers praised him for converting what they said about the car's handling into technological changes. In the middle of the 1991 season, he wrecked at Flemington Speedway. He suffered an injury to his brain stem, which resulted in a loss of depth awareness. "When you wreck that hard," he added, "you don't remember anything about it." "I couldn't match my standards as a driver," he said, "and that annoyed the heck out of me." Following his accident, officials installed foam blocks in the corners to reduce impact.</p>

Mayfield blamed Evernham's personal life for degrading his execution, claiming that the relationship between Evernham and <a href="/biography/erin-crocker">Erin Crocker</a> was the reason for losing that race back in 2006.</p>

<h2>Career and Net Worth</h2>

<p>Ray Evernham has designed, built, and driven some of the most advanced race cars in history. His determinism and devotion to motorsports have paved the way for him in both the racing and technology industries. He designs a lot of engineering systems used in the industry today. He brought the IROC series back to life, which gave him the chance to work with the world's best racers. Ten years later, Ray was offered the opportunity to team with the up-and-coming driver, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Gordon">Jeff Gordon</a> of Hendrick Motorsports, as a crew chief. He would go on as leader of the Rainbow Warriors. With Hendrick, he recorded 47 wins in NASCAR, including 2 Daytonas and three championships.</p>

<p>Ray collaborated with Chrysler, and he was supposed to build a team from start to finish that would enter NASCAR. He accomplished the task in less than 500 days and created Evernham Motorsports. Evernham Motorsports blazed a new trail in performance by creating an environment where technology and racing were co-dependent. Ray was voted the most fantastic crew chief of all time in 2006, an honor he believes to be his highest recognition to date. In 2014, Ray became a consultant at Hendrick Motorsports. Evernham was an <a href="/biography/ray-evernham">analyst</a> on TV several times. He has worked on both race coverage and studio coverage. On his show, <em>AmeriCarna, </em>he shared his love of cars and would tell the stories of vehicles that made their mark on American culture. He currently works on NBCSN as an analyst.</p>

<h2>Controversy</h2>

<p>Evernham was penalized with one of the most considerable fines in the history of NASCAR, of $60,000 for using new suspension parts that were not approved on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Gordon">Jeff Gordon</a>'s car. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Gordon">Gordon</a> regretted what he did after knowing that Evernham designed this part specifically to reduce the car's weight and improve the performance, which didn't happen because NASCAR disapproved of it.</p>

<h2>Hobbies</h2>

<p>Everham keeps his important car collection in a room that he calls "The Vault," Although not all the cars here have significant financial value, there are still some irreplaceable vehicles like the Torino Talladega prototype. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banjo_Matthews">Banjo Matthews</a>, NASCAR <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banjo_Matthews">legend</a>, previously owned it. Others are of sentimental value to him, like the Viper given to him for winning the Winston Cup and a Plymouth for winning the same championship again in 1997, and an Acura by Hendrick.</p>
