Vance and Hines Motorsports Inc. will expand their Indianapolis plant, creating 26 new jobs by 2011.
As part of the expansion, they will invest more than $4 million to build and equip a 66,000-square-foot exhaust systems manufacturing facility adjacent to its current race shop in the suburban Indianapolis.
"Motorsports has a rich history and a bright future in Indiana," said Lt. Governor Becky Skillman. "We'll continue to encourage motorsports companies from across the country and around the globe to locate and expand here as we build Indiana's reputation as the motorsports capital of the world."

Vance and Hines, which currently employs nearly 40 workers at its Brownsburg facility, plans to begin hiring additional machine operators, welders and customer support personnel in the fall to prepare for the scheduled opening of the new facility in December. The company has hired Indianapolis-based Lauth to construct the new facility.
"Indiana is an ideal manufacturing base for our company. Competitive developments costs, low overhead and a skilled worker pool will allow us to succeed in the future," said Byron Hines, co founder of Vance and Hines Motorsports Inc. "We look forward to developing and manufacturing more aftermarket high-performance motorcycle products for the worldwide market and would like to thank the state, Hendricks County and Brownsburg for their assistance in our expansion."
Founded in 1980 by Terry Vance and Byron Hines, Vance and Hines machinists have produced exhaust systems and motorcycle parts for multiple National Hot Rod Association champions including Hines' sons Matt and Andrew. The company established its Indiana operations in 2004, expanding to its current size in 2006.
"The town of Brownsburg is pleased to see Vance and Hines thrive and grow in our community. This new investment and job creation bodes well for the town, county and region," said Jim Waggoner, Brownsburg town manager. "While we may normally think of the motorsports industry as racing, this expansion is about research and development, as well as the manufacturing and distribution of high-performance motorcycle parts."
