STUDENT SPOTLIGHT | CHRIS YERGES

In 2021, UW-Platteville Master of Science in Engineering student Chris Yerges balanced a demanding career and his graduate coursework in reaching the pinnacle of his career. He was integral in winning the 2020 NASCAR Daytona 500 as the lead engineer for Front Row Motorsports.

Yerges said he has already applied the lessons learned in the M.S. in Engineering program to his job in the highest level of racing.

“I am lucky to have some professors at UW-Platteville that were very good about bringing some practicality into the coursework. They really teach and mold you how to think and tackle a problem by breaking it apart,” said Yerges. “That’s critical in racing. You have to be able to figure out ways to pick apart a very complicated system and know the practical side of things, not just the theoretical.”
